Thinking of some ideas for DOMINOES variations. GAMES.
1) Dominos are layed [sic] out like a board. Pcs. move from square to square. To move to a square with the same number or lower there is no expenditure for each number difference. Pieces have a given - say 10 - number of units available each turn. A war game can be played on a 7 and 8 layout wh with armies being located at opposite ends. Another layout would be a 5x11 with one square sticking out from the center of one side. Object would be to occuppy [sic] this square and hold it for one turn, as a race game a continuous track could be layed out.
2) Play with matching, but instead of a line a match can be made anywhere and if both ends of the domino match the player plays again.

To Reiss games and spoke to Manny Lefkowitz. He rcd. the SPECTACULARS and they are considering them. He said they like one particularly but are afraid they will get flak on it. I asked if it is BEDROOM EYES - no X-RAY EYES. The mold is in the process of being made for THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME.
