$.75. (Both seem to be complete.)
<br>Claude gave me the copy of <u>BOTTOMS UP</u> that he bought. Payed him 25¢.
At a German import store on 86th St. saw <u>KÖPCHEN- KÖPCHEN</u> (see '74 [1974]).
There is a quadrille board with some colored spaces. The letter tiles
are marked on the backs so that vowels are differentiated from
consonants. Each player starts with 7 consonants and 3 vowels. Words
are formed on the board with x-word [crossword] style. Object is to be the first
to get rid of all the tiles. When words are formed on colored
squares players, depending on the color, pass a tile to another
player, take one from another player, take one from the stock,
etc. (not sure of details.)
