Rcd. a FOCUS order.

To Brentano's. Saw WEB. For board & starting position see "1965 Ad Clips". Object of white is to get all pcs. into the inside ring of spaces (not the large space in the center). Object of black (actually green) is to stop at least one white pc. for two hours (what can keep black from stalling?). White has first move. Moves are one space orthogonally in any direction. Black may never have more than 4 pcs. in the inside (goal ring) & after white has brought 8 pcs. into the ring black must, in succeeding turns move all pcs. out of the ring. If black is blocking any pcs. black must move out of the way in his turn. On the game is the question - is it a game-or a puzzle? A good question. [Published by Circular Checkers, Inc.]

Saw SQUANDER (A-H). A game of losing all your money in stock market, horse racing, roulette, etc. Only choice seems to be in how much money to gamble at a time.

Saw BLITZKRIEG (A-H). A large war game with air, sea & land forces. Seems to be the ultimate A-H game.
