The playing pieces consist of 2 pair of dice, one die for each <br> | |||
color of the board, enough of different colors so that <br> | |||
the total of all colors will completely fill all the holes in the <br> | |||
board, a set of 6 playing pieces of six to 8 different colors, <br> | |||
and a special calculator for each color of the board. <br> | |||
The rules for the first game, which I have called <u>PEG - IT</u>, <br> | |||
are simple enough for small children. For this game only the <br> | |||
board, pegs, and dice are used. The idea is to place pegs in <br> | |||
the holes of the board's colored squares depending on the throw <br> | |||
of the dice. Points are awarded for each colored square that <br> | |||
is filled and the winner holds the greatest number of points. It <br> | |||
can be played by as many players as there are colors of pegs. <br> | |||
The second game, which i have named <u>DIAG - RACE</u>, is a little <br> | |||
more complex and uses the board, one pair of dice, and six pegs for <br> | |||
each of two to four players. The rules require the winner to be the <br> | |||
first to move his six pegs diagonally across the board according to <br> | |||
special moves and penalties and according to the throw of the <br> | |||
dice. It is suitable for players from <s>8 ang</s> age 8 to 10 and up. <br> | |||
The third game is an adult strategy game using the playing <br> | |||
pieces, the calculators, a pair of dice and the pegs. The playing <br> | |||
pieces are moved with evasive tactics while the calculators <br> | |||
and dice are used to determine the placement of pegs and the <br> | |||
capturing of the playing pieces. Each piece has point value and <br> | |||
the winner obtains the greatest point value. A tentative <br> | |||
name for this game is <u>CAL -O- PEG</u>. | |||

Alice & Felicia here. Played two games of <u>Q.E.D.</u> They <br> | |||
both liked it very much. Kicked around the name and <br> | |||
finally came up with <u>SIT DOWN AND THINK (THE GAME OF <br> | |||
CONSTANT CHANGE)</u> when I told BB to do that. <br> | |||
At their house I saw a copy of <u>WORD - O- RAMA</u>. There was <br> | |||
an addition to the rules that I added to the card <br> | |||
in the card file. <br> | |||
