At Klein's in Jamaica, Queens saw TURNING POINT (Mattel). <br>
The board is as shown. <br>
[diagram of alternating rows of 5 and 6 small circles.  The four in the center are shaded.]<br>
There are 60 plastic discs which have one color or the
other.  There are 8 stick-on lables
marked "Double" and two marked "Stop."
These are pasted on 6 of the disccs
so that they are equally divided between
the colors.  Each player at the start
takes 1 disc with "Stop" on his opponent's
color, 2 discs with "Double" on both sides <s>on his color</s>,
and 27 plain discs.  Players in turn
place a disc with their color up,
starting with the 4 center spots, colored red. <br>
When a player traps the opponent's pieces between two
of his, either orthogonally or diagonally, he turns them over,
as in <u>REVERSI</u>. He scores one point for each piece in each
line in which there was turning over, as long as they are his
color. <br>
When a "Double" is played it does not count (I believe) but
when it is turned it doubles the value of that line.  Two
doubles in a line give 4X; 3 give 6X and 4 give 8X. <br>
A "Stop" is originally played face down. As soon as it is
turned the opponent must [illegible strikeout] stop.  (After the position
is known what is is to stop the opponent from turning that last?)
A player places a disc of his color even if not able to do
any turning or scoring. <br>
Play until all discs have been placed.  Add the number of
discs each player has showing to his core.  Most points
wins.  (Pretty complete, but a few points may be off.)
