<u>LES GRANDS AMIRAUX</u> - A naval variant of <u>STRATEGO</u>. (Didn't get details.)  <br>
<u>LES JEUX DU 420</u> - A word game with <s>elaborate</s> fancy equipment, mainly  <br>
chips for payment from opponent when a word is made. There  <br>
is a quadrille board on which words are formed. Words do  <br>
not have to cross. I believe that alternate words must be  <br>
made horizontally, vertically, etc. When a word is formed  <br>
that crosses one or more words already on the board (using a letter  <br>
in them) the remainder(s) of the existing word(s) is (are) removed.  <br>
The player forming a word <s>gains</s> collects 5 francs per letter for a  <br>
word of 5 or less letters. He collects 10 francs per letter for a  <br>
word of 6 or more letters. (Didn't get the rest of the details.)  <br>
<u>LE PLUS MALIN</u> - Each player places three pawns behind a  <br>
barrier. He can choose from a number of different colors. After  <br>
they are setup, players try to guess the opponent's (2 play)  <br>
setup. In turn they place three pawns in a row and are informed  <br>
(by means of [illegible crossed out] pawns of the two other colors  <br>
placed to the side) whether any of the colors are the same, and  <br>
also whether are in correct position. (Pierre said it wasn't  <br>
nearly as good as <u>JOTTO</u>.)  <br>
Bought 2 boxes of chips in different colors and shapes at Au Louvre.  <br>
Pierre drove me to Galeries Lafayette where I saw : -  <br>
<u>TILT</u> - Pcs. move in channels and Pierre said it was a manipulative  <br>
game. Also he has a copy, so I didn't look at it.  <br>
<u>BLOCUS</u> - Played on a 16 x 16 quadrille by 2 or 3 players.  <br>
When 2 play, each has 4 pcs. When 3 play, each has 3 pcs.  <br>
These are placed on the board (1 at a time I believe)  <br>
as the players wish. Pcs. move like Chess Queens. As they  <br>
leave a space a cardboard square of their color is left on  <br>
the space. Pcs. cannot <s>jump</s> pass over another pc. (any color,  <br>
I believe) or a cardboard square (again of any color, I believe).  <br>
<s>object is to</s> Pcs. can pass between two diagonally touching obstructions.  <br>
Object is form fences around areas. These must be continuous  <br>
and touching two sides. At end player scores 1 point for  <br>
each space in his territory. (Don't remember some of the  <br>
details of ending the game and scoring.)  <br>
At Samaritaine bought <u>LES CORSAIRES</u>. There was a folder with  <br>
the games put out by Capiepa. They included <u>3 CHEVAUX 1 TIERCE</u>,  <br>
<u>SHERLOCK HOLMES</u>, <u>LE KON TIKI</u>, <u>PEAUX ROUGES CONTRE LONGS CONTEAUX (BATTLE OF LITTLE BIG HORN, THE</u>, <u>TIR TAC</u> (<u>BOOBY TRAP</u>),  <br>
(cont. on 9/20)
