then a rook's, in different trials - one move in a player's <br> | |||
turn. After making a move, or without a move if desired, <br> | |||
the player could replace the disc with a <s>pie</s> permanent <br> | |||
pc. I suggested placing the four discs in the player's <br> | |||
choice of the 6 "award" spaces. I also suggested a <br> | |||
knight's move, which Claude didn't want to get into. Wald <br> | |||
suggested a bishop's move and starting in the middle <br> | |||

also make a bet on two cards by <br> | |||
placing a marker on both, or on <br> | |||
four by placing a marker at the <br> | |||
corners. Also the five vowels or <br> | |||
a row of five numbers can be bet on. The banker <br> | |||
