manner to be determined) players in turn move one pc. | Thinking of a <u>GAME</u> based on the idea Lech sent in his last <br> | ||
letter. <s>A board has squares with numbers</s> Each player has <br> | |||
10 dominos [crossed out] all combinations of the numbers 1 to 5 <br> | |||
but not including doubles. The board is 12x12 and has the <br> | |||
numbers 1 to 5 and also blank spaces, which are wild. <br> | |||
The dominos are placed on the board so that the numbers <br> | |||
match the spaces. After the pcs. are on the board <br> | |||
(manner to be determined) players in turn move one pc. <br> | |||
to another place where it touches another pc. (to be <br> | |||
determined whether diagonal is acceptable). A pc. placed so <br> | |||
that it touches an opponent's picece (diagonally to be determined) <br> | |||
captures the piece. However it must of course <br> | |||
be next to one of the player's own pieces and also it must <br> | |||
have come from the same group that it is placed into. <br> | |||
Object (probably) to move across to the opponent's home you. Winning more can only be made from the same aroup that the piece is placed against. (To be tried out) | |||
