<br>Ronnie brought the January <u>PLAYBOY</u> Mag. [magazine] It has a game | |||
<u>HOLLYWOOD HUSTLE</u>. Phil F. says he can get it for me half price | |||
in a month or so. | |||
<br>Don't remember how it came up, but Ronnie has the game | |||
<u>CONESTOGA</u>. I have notes on it, but not the game. | |||
Ronnie, Audrey, Jordan, and I played a revised version of his | |||
<u>CROSS PURPOSES</u> (see 10/29 - and the idea of 11/25 has been | |||
discarded). There is a deck of cards as follows: 8 each of 1, 2, 3, 4, | |||
and 5 - 4 of 6 - 3 of 7 - 1 Joker (48 total). Each player plays with | |||
a hand of 3 cards, replacing one after he plays. A Joker | |||
can be use to move any distance. | |||
<br>An area of 5x5 is enclosed in the center of the board. If | |||
a player moves off the board and the previous player places | |||
the marker on one of his own 10 point tiles, the player | |||
who went off the board can, after paying, move the marker | |||
to one of his own 10 point tiles in the center area - if he | |||
wishes. (I suggested allowing this privilege any time a | |||
player lands the marker on an opponent's 10 point tile. | |||
<br>Players are not allowed to pay in opponent's tiles - only their | |||
own. 25 points in opponents' tiles wins. If a player has to | |||
make a move that allows a choice of two of more opponents to | |||
win, he must move the shorter distance allowed by his cards. | |||
(At 25 points, we all felt that the game should continue, probably | |||
to 50 points. Ronnie said that he played partnership and | |||
50 was correct for <s>that</s> the combined score. I pointed out | |||
that in partnership there would be a lot more landing on | |||
safe tiles.) | |||
