games and how | games and how to go about trimming the down. Instead<br> | ||
he suggested running it in two issues. If I have them<br> | |||
typed and to him by next Monday it will still be in time<br> | |||
to get first half in #41.The only off-beat war game<br> | |||
they have included is <u>DIPLOMACY</u>. I should include <u>RISK</u>, etc.<br> | |||

He didn't seem to be familiar with most of them and the<br> | |||
rules were poorly written, or completely missing.<br> | |||
<u>THE HOOKER</u>. Rathcon has discontinued this. The object is to swing<br> | |||
the <s>hook on</s> ring so that it hooks onto a hook. Another way of<br> | |||
using it is to swing it hard and count the swings. It is possible<br> | |||
for the ring to eventually get hooked. One of mine did after 15<br> | |||
or 16 swings. Jerry said the previous record was 14.<br> | |||
<u>CHICKEN</u>. Using a die, players build a tower of discs of their color.<br> | |||
The die faces are -1, 1, 2, 3, 4, "Chicken". When Chicken is <br> | |||

which cause the towers to move to the edge of the platform,<br> | |||
