The rules for <u>DIRTY WATER</u> and <u>SMOG</u> came, but <br> | |||
not the games themselves. | |||
We got together with the <u>Soucies</u>. Claude and I looked in <br> | |||
Toy City. Richie said that <u>ACQUIRE</u> and the card games <br> | |||
were doing well. <u>BAZAAR</u> is not doing well. | |||
---- | |||
<u>CHINESE CHECKERS</u>. Players try to bring their men to <br> | |||
their space ships. [illegible cross out] As soon as a man enters a <br> | |||
space ship the outer ring is rotated one space. (Rough <br> | |||
idea.) <br> | |||
<u>COLOR WHEEL</u> : - A series of imitative games. (Don't remember <br> | |||
any of the details.) <br> | |||
<u>CODE WORD</u> : - Looked too much like one that <u>Jerry D'Arcey</u> <br> | |||
showed me so I didn't look at it. | |||
<u>SQWASH</u> : - This is an imitation of <u>TANGLE</u> <br> | |||
(which Gini said she saw once for a short <br> | |||
time.) The board is as shown. <br> | |||
[Diagram of an 11 x 11 grid. The outer edge rows and colomns are blue. The next in toward center are red, and the rest of the interior is black. Some of the squares in the grid are darkened as in a crossword.] | |||
The ink linesare only used when two play. The <br> | |||
red spaces are added for 3. And the blue <br> | |||
spaces are added for 4. <br> | |||
Each player has a set of 15 pcs. <br> | |||
like the following [Diagram of threee polyomino shapes including a +.] <br> | |||
, etc. All posible arrangements of 4 <br> | |||
segments, except a completed square, <br> | |||
are included. Players in turn place <br> | |||
a pc. Object is to form 1 or more <br> | |||
complete squares. These are marked with the player's marker. <br> | |||
The colored squares (which I am sure are not in this <br> | |||
arrangement( count double. <br> | |||
A piece cannot be placed that isolated a single line <br> | |||
segment on the board. <br> | |||
(Played the game. Started interestingly but bogged down <br> | |||
as the better pcs. were used.) <br> | |||
<u>PINPOINT</u> : - (Told her that Parker had a game of the same <br> | |||
name, which she knew.) Played on a 12 x 12 quadrille. When <br> | |||
2 play each has 7 pcs., 3 - 6 pcs., 4 - 5 pcs. There are also <br> | |||
60 "barriers" which are placed in turn by the players at the <br> | |||
start of the game, being placed on the line between two <br> | |||
