space on the "Progress Chart" puts a player into a winning position. <br> | |||
If a player lands on another player's "appointment" space <br> | |||
and the latter does not have a "trauma" to unload, the latter <br> | |||
moves forward on the board to the next "appointment" space <br> | |||
(his own or any?). The "Waiting Room Whoopee" cards contain <br> | |||
things like asking another player a personal question. <br> | |||
2 to 4 can play. [by Jeffrey Marlin, 267 W. 89th St, N.Y, N.Y 10024.] | |||
Jake also told me about another one of his games, <br> | |||
<u>BLITZ BLOCK</u>. It is played on a 19 x 19 board. The center <br> | |||
square is colored yellow. Two play. Each player has <br> | |||
pieces in his color as follows : - 50 = 1 x 1, 9 - 2 x 1, 2 - 3 x 1, <br> | |||
and 1 - 5 x 1. The players sit facing each other and each <br> | |||
starts at the center space on his side by putting a piece <br> | |||
covering it and, if a larger pc., adjoining spaces. In each <br> | |||
turn a player places a piece. It must be adjacent; either on <br> | |||
a side or a corner, to a previously placed pc. Object is to <br> | |||
make a continuous chain to opposite side. Chains can cross <br> | |||
where there are point contacts. A player may play in the <br> | |||
center space, but a special yellow pc. is used and it <s>can</s> is <br> | |||
considered to be a part of either player's chain. 2 play. <br> | |||
There is also a version with 7 forts towards the <br> | |||
center. The first player to surround (What happens if <br> | |||
both have pieces around a fort?) [illegible cross out] four forts wins. | |||
Jake also mentions that in playing <u>STRATEGO</u> he has given <br> | |||
more incentive to attack by introducing a rule that in <br> | |||
case of a tie, the attacker wins. He has also changed two <br> | |||
pieces on each side to "moving bombs". When these are <br> | |||
involved in a confrontation they and the piece they are involved <br> | |||
with are destroyed. | |||
Gave Jake a copy of the expanded <u>ACQUIRE</u> rules. | |||
Copied the following from a letter by <br> | |||

My game is called <u>KEYNOTE</u> and it is designed to teach the child <br> | |||
or adult, alike, how to read all the notes on the music staff in <br> | |||
printed music as related to the piano keyboard. It is a card game, <br> | |||
comprising one different note to each card with each octave depicted <br> | |||
in a different color for each ease both in playing the game and <br> | |||
in learning as well. There are four different ways of playing the | |||
