Rcd. 1 FOCUS order.

Original GAME IDEA of mine:- Have 36 squares in a frame as in RED LETTER. Each one is similar to the following, with different arrangements of the elements.

[Diagram of board pieces labelled "BOARD PIECES, 36 REQ'D"; diagram of playing pieces labelled "PLAYING PCS (2 sets req'd)"]

Each played has 16 playing pcs. as shown. Play is like CHESS. Pcs. have the Queen's move except that they can only land in a space containing their element. Pcs. can jump other pcs. - friend or enemy. Object is to take all 4 pcs. of one group (as A-B-C-D, etc.) After completing this can pass up this, single, win to try for a 2nd group worth 3, a third worth 6, or a fourth worth 10. Of course the other player can win in the meantime. Actually so that the board spaces can be visible they would have to be made like this:-
