cards, it is not replaced. Win by getting rid of all cards.
Spoke to <u>James Faulkner</u> who was showing his game <u>NEXUS</u> and also
Conflict's <u>OVERLORD</u>, <u>KASSERINE PASS</u>, and <u>THE BROTHERHOOD</u>.
<br>Played two games of <u>NEXUS</u> with Jim and he beat me. It is over very
quickly.
<br>He showed me his game <u>ZEX-OH</u>. The field consists
of 15 circles as shown.
[drawing of 15 circles arranged in a pyramid. There is a dotted line connecting the left circle in the 2nd row to the circle in the top row, then down to the middle circle in the third row, and then down to the two right circles in the 4th row]
Each player has
his own field. The two players fill in their
fields at will with P(aper), S(cissors), or
R(ock), secretly. Players can choose any
circle to start with - each starts at the
same time - secret from each other. Then
they are compared and either one wins or
it is a tie when both choose the same symbol. After this they
pick a circle adjacent, short or long, to their last one. Etc.
<br>He asked me if I thought it was too much like my game of
<u>PAPER BOXING</u>, which gave him the idea. No.
<br>Jim is not going to be able to continue unless he gets more financing.
He asked me to hold off my <u>S&T</u> review until I heard from him.
Took an ad sheet advertising <u>NEXUS</u>, <u>SUBMARINES</u>, and <u>ZEX-OH</u>.
