to form as many words as possible using faces in certain

set ways going around a cube and from cube to cube.
<u>ANGLE TANGLE</u> (Word) Flat pcs.
<br><u>ANGLE TANGLE</u> (Word) Flat pcs. [pieces] of plastic are bent so that
they form an angle. These are placed in a bowl-like container.   
The plastic pcs. have holes in different positions. Players
in turn use a hook to withdraw "angles" from the pile
without disturbing the others (almost impossible). Each
angle has a letter on it which is used for forming words.
<br><u>HIGHER 'N HIGHER "N OOPS</u> (Novelty) A large number of
small cylinders are strung on a string (which is just to
keep them from flying all over the place). Object is to
pile as many of them as possible one on top of the
other.
 
[Small diagram of two cylinders connected by a string.]
 
A disc connected by rubber bands to a base
keeps the pile under tension once a certain height is reached.
The cylinders have numbers on them and, I presume, a player
can stop at any point and score the sum of the cylinders in
place. (I think Felicia kept this.)
<br><u>CLAIMERS FOR JIGSAW PUZZLES</u> (Novelty) Small plastic disc in various
colors to be used to make any jigsaw puzzle competative. When a
player places a pc. that is tied back to a corner already in
place he puts his "claimer" on it. (What's to keep a player from
hoarding pcs.?)
<br><u>ANGLE TANGLE</u> (Novelty) Same as above, but without the letters.
Played the same as <u>JACK STRAWS</u>.
<br><u>BIG DEAL STORIES</u> (Novelty) Cards with words on them, different
parts of speech having different colors. A number of cards are
turned face up and players try to get the longest meaningful
and grammatically correct sentence.
<br><u>THE SIX POINT SUPPORT PLAN</u> (Puzzle). A flat triangular pc.
has six <s>legs a</s> short legs, positioned as shown, and a big hole in the center.
 
[Diagram of a triangle with a large hole in the center and indications of where six legs might be attached. Stacks of wooden discs are depicted nearby with heights ranging from 1 to 5 tall.]
 
There are a considerable number of wooden discs of different heights, but the
larger being in multiples of the
smallest. Each height is a different color.
Object is to pile all of the
discs into 6 piles so that the triangular pc. sits solidly on
all 6 of them, in some kind of a tilted position. (Felicia kept this.)
<br><u>GREETING CARD PUZZLE</u> (Puzzle). A message is written on a
piece of vinyl and then broken into pcs. and replaced on
a vinyl base in a scrambled position. (This is a greeting card
item and Hallmark doesn't pay royalties on these.)
