Played two games of <u>JUMP -A- SCORE</u> with Dana & changed the name to <u>POTENTIAL</u>. | Played two games of <u>JUMP -A- SCORE</u> with Dana & changed the name to <u>POTENTIAL</u>. Added a rule for chain reactions. If a pc. scores with a total in an even multiple of 5 a chain reaction is started and one of the pcs. already in the space is moved out counting the exit number (or "potential") as all the numbers including the one <s>you</s> just moved in. If the pc. moved is the player's own & it scores the player gets the score. If another player's piece is moved into a scoring situation it is deducted from his score. The chain reaction can be continued as long as the scoring number is an even multiple of 5. A space with 4 can be entered <s>with</s> if a chain reaction results. | ||
Play to a score of 150 pts. Each player should get his turn & in case of tie continue until a player is ahead at the end of a round. Or perhaps it would be better to allow each player to have one more turn after a player reaches 150 to try and catch up. | |||
Made an arrangement of numbers which I think will be more equitable and will almost eliminate frozen spaces - considering that they can be unblocked with a "chain reaction". | |||
