[DIAGRAM OF AN 8 | [DIAGRAM OF AN 8 x 8 CHECKERBOARD. IT IS POPULATED BY 28 PIECES (CHECKERS) ARRANGED AROUND THE OUTER EDGE OF THE BOARD. THERE ARE 14 DARK PIECES AND 14 WHITE PIECES PLACED IN ALTERNATING ORDER AROUND THE ENTIRE BOARD. | ||
THE INNERMOST 4 SQUARES OF THE BOARD ARE MARKED WITH THICKER LINES THAN THE REST.] | THE INNERMOST 4 SQUARES OF THE BOARD ARE MARKED WITH THICKER LINES THAN THE REST.] | ||
Another <s>idea</s> idea which might be called <u>TURNING POINT</u> <br> | Another <s>idea</s> idea which might be called <u>TURNING POINT</u> <br> | ||
allows one player's pcs. to move to a symmetrical <br> | |||
position around another pc. See sketch. Can do <br> | |||
this on any friendly pc. or possibly <br> | |||
would be better to have markings on <br> | |||
the pcs. and only pcs. with the <br> | |||
same marking could turn on each other. <br> | |||
Replacement capture probably best. <br> | |||
[DIAGRAM DEPECTING WHAT APPEARS TO BE HALF OF AN 8 x 8 CHECKERBOARD. a PIECE IS DEPICTED MOVING FROM ONE SPACE ON THE BOARD TO ANOTHER (SHOWN BY DASHED LINE). THE NEW SPACE HAS 180 DEGREE ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY AROUND A CENTRAL PIVOT POINT FROM THE STARTING POINT.] | |||
Another idea which might be called TEMPO. Use numbered <br> | |||
pcs. (as in my version of L.O.A.) with capture of a certain <br> | |||
number in sequence as the objective. <br> | |||
Each player has a set of cards, say two each of the <br> | |||
following : - | |||
[SMALL DIAGRAM OF FOUR NUMBER/SYMBOL COMBINATIONS. <br> | |||
AN COMPASS-LIKE ARROW POINTING TO 8 DIRECTIONS NEXT TO A 3. <br> | |||
AN COMPASS-LIKE ARROW POINTING TO 8 DIRECTIONS NEXT TO A 2. <br> | |||
A 'V' SHAPED ARROW POINTING IN 2 DIRECTIONS NEXT TO A 1, AND<br> | |||
A SINGLE ARROW POINTING UP NEXT TO A 1.]<br> | |||
At the beginning of game each player chooses (independently) one card <br> | |||
which is faced up. All of his pcs. can move the number shown - <br> | |||
exactly. Players move one pc. @ a time. After moving player <br> | |||
may change his moving card but a card once used cannot <br> | |||
be used again. Captures are by replacement. Pcs. whether <br> | |||
friendly or enemy can be passed over on a move. <br> | |||
Another idea for an objective would be to require that <br> | |||
captures be in sequence starting with the first capture. <br> | |||
Thus if 6 captures are required and a player captures #5 as <br> | |||
his first capture, his next must be #6, then #7, etc. <br> | |||
With this objective it would probably be O.K. to allow the <br> | |||
1 cards to move in all eight directions. A starting position <br> | |||
of 16 pcs. <s>would probab</s> in the first two rows would probably be <br> | |||
satisfactory. <br> | |||
