One of the salesmen marked off a catalog with items that <br> | |||
have been dropped. Among them:- <u>UNIVERSE</u>, <u>TYCOON</u>, <br><u>CAMALOT</u>. <br> | |||
The new games are <u>VENTURE</u> (which is trademarked). It is a <br> | |||
simple battle game played on a board as shown. 2, 3, or <br> | |||
4 play, each for himself. Each player <br> | |||
has 3 pieces, a king started in the <br> | |||
red space & two pawns started in the <br> | |||
gray spaces (these are actually in <br> | |||
the 9 x 9 square in the spaces indicated <br> | |||
by the arrows. <br> | |||
There is a sequence selector with 5 <br> | |||
black and 5 white marbles. These are <br> | |||
shaken and come down in a tube showing <br> | |||
5. Starting with the bottom the color of <br> | |||
the marbles indicate the color of the spaces <br> | |||
that a piece moves to, and in that order. <br> | |||
Orthogonal moves only and the same space <br> | |||
may be entered twice. Cannot move <br> | |||
unless all 5 can be used. An occupied space <br> | |||
cannot be passed through. | |||
[Diagram of an 11 x 11 board populated with dark and light circles. There are shapes on each out-side of the board with arrows pointing toward the 11 x 11 square. 3 squares, 3 circles, 3 ovals, and 3 triangles.] | |||
Capture by ending in an opponent's space on the fifth marble. <br> | |||
A pawn is removed from the game. A king is sent back to its <br> | |||
starting space, and if it has a crown the crown is lost. A crown <br> | |||
is earned by making and capture. Object is to move into the <br> | |||
opposite red space. (Not stated - but if opponent's king is there it <br> | |||
must be removed to win the game.) <br> | |||
<u>SOMA</u>. A 54 page little booklet comes with it and gives rules <br> | |||
for a "game". Each player has a cube in a different color (it is <br> | |||
made in 4). They each pass a piece to the other (any except the <br> | |||
3 cube one) and then race to complete a cube with the non- <br> | |||
standard set (they can all be done). It can also be a stipulated <br> | |||
that the passed piece must be in a particular level (1st, 2nd, <br> | |||
or 3rd). <br> | |||
<u>FUNNY BONES</u> : - Got a copy of it. <br> | |||
<u>SITUATION 7</u> : - Same game as <u>SITUATION 4<.u> but with a <br> | |||
circular playing field and a space theme. Board is as shown (and <br> | |||
also see ad sheet in 1969). Each player has a set of jig-saw <br> | |||
pieces that can completely cover the field (with different <br> | |||
