To Brentano's. Saw the following: - (The downtown) <br> | |||
<u>PENCENTRICS</u>: - A $20 puzzle. Plastic rectangles, quite a few of <br> | |||
them are fitted into a plastic container to form a large rectangle. <br> | |||
<u>HI-SPOT</u>: - The Pressman game I saw earlier in the year. <br> | |||
<u>MORRA BOARD</u>: - Two play. Each <br> | |||
has a playing pc. which he <br> | |||
starts in any space on the <br> | |||
outside circle he wishes. <br> | |||
Both can be in the same space <br> | |||
if they desire. | |||
[Diagram of a round board divided into 3 rings comprised of 24 total sections. The board has 90 degree rotational symmetry. 4 spaces in the inner ring. 8 spaces in the middle ring. 12 spaces in the outer ring. Some of the spaces are populated with either black or white circles.] | |||
Each player has three balls. <br> | |||
Players take turns moving. <br> | |||
Moves are made in a clockwise <br> | |||
direction. The amount is determined <br> | |||
by the number of balls <br> | |||
that the two players hold <br> | |||
in their fists, from 0 to 3. <br> | |||
And the move is the total <br> | |||
of the two fists. <br> | |||
When a piece lands on a space marked with a white circle it moves <br> | |||
into the next inner space. On a black it moves out. <br> | |||
When a piece lands on a space with the opponent's piece, that <br> | |||
piece moves out a circle, unless it is in the outside circle <br> | |||
If it lands on a black or white circle that circle is followed. <br> | |||
First to reach the center wins. <br> | |||
When each player holds 0 balls the piece doesn't move and it <br> | |||
is considered a new entry into that space. <br> | |||
Can also be played by 3 or 4, each player's move is determined <br> | |||
between him and the next player. <br> | |||
