FRIDAY 9 FEBRUARY 1968
40th day - 326 days to come

Thinking of more possibilities for wood peg games : -
TAKE IT AWAY : - This one I had from before. Use a 6 x 6 quadrille.
Set up 18 gold & 18 silver pegs at random. The first player
removes any one. Then players in turn take turns jumping
as many pcs. as they can with one pc. A player in his
turn can, instead of moving say "take it away" and the
other player continues jumping as many as he can.
Players score 1 point for each silver peg, and 2 for
each gold peg they jumped. The player who "took it
away" loses 3 points for each silver and 5 points for each
gold peg.
PROJECTILES : - See card file. Could probably work
out something from this. But it would conflict with
FOA and FREE FOR ALL. DISPERSAL : - See 1965 diary.
