At Abercrombie & Fitch they had <u>ACQUIRE</u> & <u>BAZAAR</u> dis- <br> | |||
played prominently. They also had a game <u>NOMINOES AND TRICKETS</u> <br> | |||
by the Yeilding Co., Houston. The set consists of 56 <br> | |||
3-sector pieces, all combinations of 0 thru 5 except that the <br> | |||
20 combinations of 3 different numbers are only included in <br> | |||
one direction. <br> | |||
The first game is similar to <u>ALL-FIVE</u> Players score <br> | |||
the total for having the ends add up to multiples of 5. The first piece <br> | |||
placed has the three sides counted (I think). After this <br> | |||
an end piece has two free sides, both of which are counted. <br> | |||
Only one can be played on except the first played triple <br> | |||
which can be played on all three sides. After the and side is played <br> | |||
on the third is not added in <s>a score</s> for scoring. If a <br> | |||
player plays a piece that joing up two free ends he scores <br> | |||
50 for this, plus the total of the third end if it totals <br> | |||
a multiple of 5. This one end is now the only remaining end <br> | |||
to play on. (Fairly complete idea.) <br> | |||
The second game is a bidding game. All the pieces with <br> | |||
o's are removed, leaving 35 pieces. 4 play, in partnerships. <br> | |||
Each gets 8 pieces, and 3 pieces are in a widow. Bid for the <br> | |||
right to name trump. Bids are in numbers of tricks <br> | |||
without mentioning suit. High bidder <s>names the suit and takes the</s> takes the widow and then names the trump suit. The <br> | |||
