At F.A.O. Schwartz saw : - <br> | |||
<u>FOOTBALL CHESS</u> : - Pcs. are molded in the <br> | |||
form of football players and are set up as <br> | |||
<s>follows</s> shown. The pcs. have chess moves <br> | |||
as follows : - | |||
QB (Quarterback) same as King <br> | |||
FB (Fullback) " " Queen <br> | |||
HB (Halfback) " " Rook <br> | |||
C (Center) " " Knight <br> | |||
E (End) " " Bishop <br> | |||
L (Linesman) " " Pawn <br> | |||
Play the same as <u>CHESS</u> except for the <br> | |||
less pcs. and the different set up. | |||
[Diagram of a n 8 x 8 board marked with the letters QB, FB, HB, C, E, and L. It is the set-up for <u>FOOTBALL CHESS</u>.] | |||
<u>KON - TIKI</u> (Spears). Had the game without rules. There is a board <br> | |||
with paths on the ocean. At "Y" (Where paths branch) there are <br> | |||
movable circles which, I presume shunt boats in directions depending <br> | |||
on the setting of the circles. There are various sets of cards which are <br> | |||
collected. They build up in value as follows : - 1-1, 2-3, 3-6, 4-10, 5-15, <br> | |||
6-21, 7-28. The salesgirl said they would be getting additional games <br> | |||
with the rules. | |||
At Alexander's saw <u>I SPY</u> (A card <s>game</s> & board game by Ideal). <br> | |||
There are 45 cards in 4 suits and 1 joker. Each suit consists of <br> | |||
five unnumbered "weapon" cards and 6 numbered cards - "Ahead 4", <br> | |||
"Ahead 3", "Ahead 2", "Ahead 1", "Back 1" & "Back 2". There is a single-track <br> | |||
path with some of the spaces marked with colors matching <br> | |||
the suits. Each player is dealt 4 cards. Play is in tricks and suit <br> | |||
must be followed. Highest number of suit led wins trick (Back 1 <br> | |||
ranks above Ahead 2 and Ahead 1 in rank - I think). The player winning <br> | |||
the trick moves the sum of all the numbered cards of the suit <br> | |||
led. The winner of a trick leads to the next. The joker can be played <br> | |||
at anytime and wins the trick, giving the player 1 move ahead. <br> | |||
When a player lands on a colored space he cannot leave it until <br> | |||
he either wins a trick with a "weapon" card in it of the color <br> | |||
he is on, or he plays a "weapon" card to a trick (how many moves?) <br> | |||
Object to reach end of track. (Fairly complete.) <br> | |||
<u>THE AMAZING DUNNINGER MIND READING GAME</u> : - Board with a single path. <br> | |||
4 sets of cards, one for each player. The cards are designed <br> | |||
in 4 colors, 5 geometric shapes and 6 numbers. In determining <br> | |||
a move, the player across from the player whose turn it is <br> | |||
to move chooses a card and places it in a rack, facing <br> | |||
him. The player moving trys to guess the card, or rather <br> | |||
one part of the card. In the first three rounds of play <br> | |||
the color is guessed, the next three - the shape, the <br> | |||
next three - the number. Then start again. If the player is <br> | |||
right on the first guess he moves 6 with color, (cont. on 11/6) | |||
