Claude showed a <u>GAME IDEA</u> based on the idea of <br> | |||
the 8 queens puzzle. Each player in turn places <br> | |||
a chip of his color in a space. In succeeding turns <br> | |||
a player may not place his chip in line, orthogonally <br> | |||
or diagonally, with a pc. of his own. <s>Cont</s> <s>No</s> Only <br> | |||
one pc. can be in any space. Continue until no player <br> | |||
can place a pc. Score for number placed. Play a <br> | |||
second round using different colors but leaving <br> | |||
the chips from first round in place. <br> | |||

as starting spaces (6 actually). <br> | |||
Players pick starting spaces and <br> | |||
then in turn move with throw of <br> | |||
two dice. One space allows a player <br> | |||
to take a "Hidden Weapon" card, of <br> | |||
which there are 6. When a player <br> | |||
lands by even count on a space occupied by an <br> | |||
opponent, he takes all that plaer's weapons. First <br> | |||
