<u>ENTRY</u> is a strategy game. The board consists of spaces set<br> | |||
in a quadrille but divided into rings from an outside one<br> | |||
to a 4 x 4 square on the inside which is "home". Each player has<br> | |||
three markers of different colors (6 colors in all - 1 player<br> | |||
having red white and blue and the other the other 3 colors).<br> | |||
Throw two dice and move around the outside rings, one<br> | |||
die for each of two pieces. When a piece lands on a space<br> | |||
with its own color, or one with all six colors, the player takes<br> | |||
a chip of that color - even if it is the<br> | |||
opponent's. Certain spaces allow one chip to be taken, either<br> | |||
from the stock or from an opponent. If landed on with a <br> | |||
double, take 2 (I believe). Landing on some other spaces<br> | |||
gets another turn. A pc. on <s>the</s> a space completely of its own<br> | |||
color is safe from "capture" but also can't "capture" from<br> | |||
that space. <s>In the</s> Chips are needed to advance from 1 ring<br> | |||
to an inner ring. 4 chips of the <s>player's</s> pieces color<br> | |||
will allow it to move into the next ring; 7 will allow a <br> | |||
move into two ring[s]; 9 for three rings; 10 for all the<br> | |||
way to "home". (There are 10 chips of each color.) In the second<br> | |||
ring there are 2 spaces marked "Defense". When a player<br> | |||
gets a pc. into one of these, the opponent can make no movement<br> | |||
in the second ring. If the opponent then gets a pc. in<br> | |||
the second "Defense" space they become inoperative until<br> | |||
both have been vacated. If the same player gets both<br> | |||
"Defense" spaces he may, if he wishes, send his 3rd pc. directly<br> | |||
to home. Also in the second ring are two spaces marked<br> | |||
"Prison". When an opponent's man is landed on by direct count<br> | |||
it is sent to prison. It is released (I believe) when the player<br> | |||
