Chris Wagner is out for the present since he wants a large salary to relocate. | |||
At Klein's saw <u>HEADACHE</u> (Kohner). This is a companion game | |||
to their <u>TROUBLE</u> which is a <u>PARCHISI</u> variant. | |||
<u>HEADACHE</u> has a die in an enclosed "pepper" and a track | |||
[diagram of circle with 8-pointed star track; four parts labeled "BLUE Start," "Yellow Start," "Red Start," and "Green Start"] | |||
as shown. 2 to 4 can play and each | |||
player has four cone shaped pieces. | |||
Players in turn pop the die. Start | |||
a piece on a 5. A red dot gives | |||
another pop. Single pieces move only | |||
in a clockwise direction. When land | |||
in same space as opponent's piece, | |||
or controlled pile, cover it. Piles | |||
can move in either direction but | |||
cannot switch during a move. A player | |||
cannot cover his own piece or pile. | |||
If no possible move can be made, | |||
pop again. A starting space cannot be landed on until all | |||
pieces of that color have been entered. All junction | |||
spaces are safety spaces. As players pieces are covered they | |||
are out of the game. Last in wins. (Fairly complete rules.) | |||
Decided that in <u>FOCUS</u> the rule about switching pieces | |||
will be as follows:- The player who plays first starts by | |||
switching out one of his pieces with on of opponent's and | |||
then immediately starts by making a regular play. | |||
Thought of a checkerboard game I'll probably call <u>NETWORK (II)</u>. | |||
Object is for a player to complete a "network" of at least | |||
6 pieces, as shown in the illustration. The paths between | |||
pieces must be clear of both enemy and friendly pcs. | |||
There must be a turn at each piece in the network. Only | |||
one piece in each of the terminal rows can be used, altho | |||
