special moves and penalties and according to the throw of the <br> | |||

The third game is an adult strategy game using the playing <br> | |||
pieces, the calculators, a pair of dice and the pegs. The playing <br> | |||
pieces are moved with evasive tactics while the calculators <br> | |||
and dice are used to determine the placement of pegs and the <br> | |||
capturing of the playing pieces. Each piece has point value and <br> | |||
the winner obtains the greatest point value. A tentative <br> | |||
name for this game is <u>CAL -O- PEG</u>. | |||
