<u>CODE</u> (The Twinson Co.) Each player has a pad of coding
sheets on which he writes a message on a chosen
topic. All use the same topic. (Example shows a
message on the topic politics.)
[Diagram of 8 x 5 grid, spelling out:
Row 1: DOWN
Row 2: WITH
Row 3: RUMMY
Row 4: REAGON
Row 5: (no letters)]
The messages are each <s>player</s> placed
in a plastic coding device. Above each letter
a cardboard square with a symbol can be placed
to cover the letter. There are 20 different sym-
bols and 10 of each. The same symbol must
be placed over the same letter each time it
occurs. Players in turn ask another player of their choice if
a certain symbol is a certain letter. If not he is told and that
ends his turn. If correct the player who asks the question
gets all the squares of that symbol, exposing the letter below.
In addition there is a spinner which each player spins
before taking the rest of his turn. This allows him to ask
a yes-no question, take an extra guess, or other things I
didn't get.
When a player thinks he knows the message he can state
it. If right he gets all the remaining cover squares. (There must
be a penalty for a wrong guess.) Player with the most squares
at the end is the winner. (Fairly complete idea.) [Parker was inter-
ested even tho it is direclty competative with their PROBE. Jerry
left a copy there.]
<u>SCORE</u> (By George Morse - Mechanical gadget by Jerry). This is
an adaptation of <u>POKER SQUARES</u> for two players. Two small decks
of cards are shuffled together and each player takes a batch
