On | On Chambers St. magazine store <u>Claude</u> showed me bought the <br> | ||
<u>THE FIRESIDE BOOKS OF CARDS</u>, which an <u>AGOG</u> reader asked me about | 3/70, 4/70, and 7/70 copies of <u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>. <br> | ||
Claude had a game he called <u>CONSTELLATION</u> (About) 15 black | |||
Before with BB, stopped at "Biblo & Tannen". Saw a copy of <br> | |||

in that column or until one | markers are placed at random on a checkerboard. Players in <br> | ||
turn take one, and may take a second if they wish, marker from <br> | |||
the board. If a marker is "Isolated" - is not in line with any <br> | |||
other pc, including diagonally - it is replaced by a white marker <br> | |||
and the player making the play keeps the black marker. <br> | |||
After an isolation the player may, but does not have to <br> | |||
remove another manker; and may continue as long as he keeps <br> | |||
making isolations, when a player has only white markers on <br> | |||
the board on his turn he takes these. Count one point for <br> | |||
each marker, black or white, that the player has, and play a <br> | |||
number of rounds. Worked o.k. but was over quickly. Tried <br> | |||
with more pcs. and with a definite starting position, and <br> | |||
lengthened the game but not necessarily improved it. Also <br> | |||
[Crossed Out] tried a larger field, using a <br> | |||
<u>GO</u> board, with about the same success. <br> | |||
I came up with a partnership version, for 4. Each <br> | |||
player places 5 mankers in the quadrant near him <br> | |||
at random. Play is the same, except that a player can only <br> | |||
take markers from the half of the bound facing him, altho <br> | |||
an isolated marker may be on the other halt. Tried it <br> | |||
once and it seemed o.k. <br> | |||
Wald and Arthur showed us a 4-hand version of <u>VEROQ</u>. The <u>HIGH DECK</u> <br> | |||
is dealt out evenly between the players. The dealer's partner <br> | |||
opens his hand as a dummy. Then the player on the dummy's <br> | |||
right leads to the first trick. There is no necessity of following <br> | |||
in house, but you can only win a trick by following. High <br> | |||
card in the house and hierarchy led wins, except if there <br> | |||
is a rebellion or surpression, which changes the hievanchy. The <br> | |||
rebellion on surpression does not have to immediately follow <br> | |||
the card it acts upon. Instead the winning cand card can be acted <br> | |||
upon at any time during the trick. The side winning the <br> | |||
last trick (all tricks are lined up in one line) scores. The <br> | |||
score is the number of tricks won at the end multiplied by the <br> | |||
total number of tricks won by that side. Keep scores in columns <br> | |||
as shown. Play in each column until <br> | |||
each item has a won one game <br> | |||
in that column or until one <br> | |||
[crossed out] team has won 4 games. <br> | |||
[Diagram of 8 columns labeled A or B. There are between zero and four x's in each column below the A or B.] | |||
The score for the column is the difference between the <br> | |||
team's totals multiplied by the number of games won by <br> | |||
the leading team in that column This result is entered | |||
