<u>GAME IN HAND</u> | |||
[Diagram of a small square pyramid that has 4 holes in the bottom. Holes labeled 1, 3, 5, and 10.] | |||
A manipulative game. The plastic pyramid | |||
has a ball inside and at the bottom four holes (with another | |||
bottom under to keep the ball from coming out). The | |||
holes vary in size with the values. Didn't get details of the play. | |||
<br><u>MOVEAICS</u> (which unfortunately is similar in mechanism to | |||
<u>PUSH OVER</u>). The board is as shown. | |||
[Diagram of an 11 x 11 square grid board. An arrow points right above the top row and another arrow points up along the rightmost column. 36 of the spaces are labeled with an X. 5 are labeled W, 5 are labeled R, 13 are labeled G, and 13 are labeled B.] | |||
One player moves in the | |||
horizontal direction and the other in the | |||
vertical, as shown by the arrows. Thus each | |||
player has 5 avenues in which he can move. | |||
The tiles are set up as shown. Players | |||
in turn move one of the avenues. The tile | |||
nearest to them in the chosen avenue is | |||
moved one space and any tiles | |||
next to it are also moved. Play until all tiles | |||
have been pushed off the opposite ends. <br> | |||
Captured tiles score as follows : - <br> | |||
Blue or green - - - - - - -1 point. <br> | |||
Red or white - - - - - - - - 3 points. <br> | |||
