Played <u>L.O.A</u>. Claude's version uses 12 pcs. each set up as <s>follows</s> shown.<br> | |||
[DIAGRAM OF AN 8 x 8 GRID BOARD. ROUND PIECES ON ALL OF THE EDGE SPACES EXCEPT THE CORNERS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ROWS HAVE 6 WHITE PIECES EACH. THE LEFT AND RIGHT COLUMNS HAVE 6 BLACK PIECES EACH.] | |||
Object is to get all of your pcs. touching orthogonally <br> | |||
or diagonally, that is all your remaining <br> | |||
pcs. Consequently in ganeral it is only <br> | |||
desirable to capture an opponent when <br> | |||
the pc. taken severs his group or if is <br> | |||
in the way of your pcs. Worked well. <br> | |||
Bob & I played my version using <br> | |||
12 pcs. set up in 4 rows of 3, alternately, <br> | |||
5 in numerical sequence wins. <br> | |||
Worked O.K. but Claude's was better. <br> | |||
Bob is calling his game (which I called <u>BLITZ</u>) <br> | |||
<u>COLUMNS</u>. | |||
A Mensa member is having an open house on war <br> | |||
gaming next Friday at 215 Willoughby St. - Apt. 1705. <br> | |||
Non - M's may come. <br> | |||
Bob showed his <u>game</u> with rolling cubes. He had <br> | |||
a capture system <s>similar</s> the same as mine (See 1/9) <br> | |||
but the rules of move are different. Start as shown. <br> | |||
Move one space orthogonally, rolling the cube. <br> | |||
Pc. must be next to another to capture. <br> | |||
(obviously with a one space move) and the <br> | |||
color on top after rolling is the one <br> | |||
that is considered in determining if a <br> | |||
capture is possible. Object to get one <br> | |||
pc. across to opponent's home row. <br> | |||
