& land forces.  Seems to be the ultimate A-H game.
[crossed out, illegible] To F.A.O. Schwartz. Saw <u>ROLAIRE</u> (Ayers-Plummer-England).
A flat board is mounted so it can be tilted. Under
plaster are 12 marbles - 5 red, 4 yellow, 3 blue - which
roll thru indentation and gather at the end, 3
rolling into a special slot which determines the
winning combination. There is a betting layout which
gives the combination - from 1 of each color to 3 blue -
and the odds for each. Each betting layout has twelve
small compartments along the edges, with 12 letters, each
belonging to a player (or as many as are playing.),
players identify their bets by placing their chip in the
space corresponding to them. It was attractive but too
expensive ($12) for a mere betting game.
Saw <u>GLOBAL CHESS & CHECKERS</u>. Regular chess & checkers played
on a board with a layout as shown. All diagonal spirals
are indicated by lines of different
colors. 1 player sets up on the
<s>old</s> outer rings, the other on
the inner. The exact same thing
can be achieved by playing on
a regular checkerboard and
considering the right and left
sides as continuous from one
to the other. (Put out by original.)
