He sent me rules for <u>GNOSIS</u> (published by Otto Maier, | |||
798 Ravensburg, a large German manufacturer). Asked me to send | |||
rules for <u>CHINESE CHECKERS.</u> <u>GNOSIS</u> filed in Board Game | |||

Rcd. another letter from Haar Hoolim. He got the adress of | |||
the inventer of <u>ARMOR</u> :- Dr. Moshe Mazor | |||
66 Gordon St. | |||
Tel-Aviv, Israel | |||
He had submitted <u>BATTLESHIP</u> and <u>LADDERS</u> to Hassenfeld | |||
Bros. and Parker. Rejected by both. | |||
Rcd. a letter from Fr. Daniel. He has a variation of | |||
<u>BATTLESHIP</u>. Ships may move one or two spaces but | |||
after a move must shoot. Since the shot must be | |||
no further than 3 spaces in a straight line away from | |||
the shot, each shot helps give away the position | |||
of the ship. | |||
He also mentions an <u>AUTO-RACE GAME</u>. Huge board | |||
about 4'x5' with a race course replete with twists | |||
and turns. 8 can play. The race course is made up of | |||
connected squares. It starts out with 8 tracks | |||
and narrows down to four and sometimes to two. We use | |||
two decks of bridge cards with the A to 4's removed. | |||
Your car travels the number of spaces on the card. | |||
Pictures are worth ten. Red cards enable you to turn | |||
either way one space before continuing to play out | |||
the card. Spade cards enable you to pass any car | |||
that is in your way. Not perfected yet. | |||
