He had a copy of <u>TIC TAC THREE</u> which he rcd. in <br> | |||
answer to the ''<u>PLAYTHINGS</u>'' card. (I rcd. an invoice <br> | |||
on 7/15 but haven't rcd. the package.) It is played <br> | |||
by 2 on a board as shown. <br> | |||
[Diagram of a 3 x 3 square grid. Each square is populated with 3 symbols - a triangle, a square, and a circle.] | |||
Each player has pcs. in his color in each of the 3 shapes. Place pcs. <br> | |||
in turn until all spaces (or possibly one is not <br> | |||
used) are filled. Score one for each line of three <br> | |||
in the same shape. Also for three in the same square. This <br> | |||
is identical with a 3-D board, without the vertical diagonals. These <br> | |||
could possibly be added. <br> | |||
He had two puzzles. One he called <u>SIX BEADS</u>. There <br> | |||
are 4 rings as shown. Each has ten (I believe) <br> | |||
lines marked with from 0 to 3 "beads" on each. Object <br> | |||
is to place them on a spindle so that there are 6 <br> | |||
beads in each vertical line. <br> | |||
[Diagram of a round object that has what appear to be beads in vertical columns around the outer side.] | |||
The other was similar to the one on 5/27 but it was <br> | |||
finished with a fancier design, one that went with its <br> | |||
name - <u>HARLEQUIN</u>. <br> | |||
These are probably the two puzzles <u>Felicia</u> mentioned sending <br> | |||
to Hallmark. (See 7/28). I mentioned this to Al and he <br> | |||
didn't know what she had done with them. Felicia never told <br> | |||
him about Hallmark. <br> | |||
He had a bunch of tetrahedrons made up with each of the <br> | |||
four points painted a different color. He is playing around <br> | |||
with making his <u>GAME</u> (see 4/17) into a 4-hand game. He <br> | |||
is using a checkerboard instead of a <u>GO</u> board. <br> | |||
In the 2-hand version we played on 4/17, he is thinking <br> | |||
of limiting captures to 3 in one turn, instead of as <br> | |||
many as a player can make. He thinks this will work out better. <br> | |||
For the 4-hand I suggested his using slices of square <br> | |||
tubing instead of the tetrahedrons, so as not to scare a <br> | |||
manufacturer with the expense. <br> | |||
He had an extra MB 1971 Catalog which he gave me. <br> | |||
He had a book ''<u>DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT DECISION GAMES</u> which <br> | |||
he loaned me. It is an 8 1/2" x 11" soft cover book which can be <br> | |||
reproduced for a little over $5.00. <br> | |||
We played <u>FRANTIC SPELLBINDER</u> and it worked so well that I <br> | |||
decided to eliminate my old rules and use only this as <br> | |||
<u>SPELLBINDER</u>. We ran out of length cards while Al & Adela still <br> | |||
had letter cards. Put back a 5 and a 4 but not sure if I'll actually add <br> | |||
them/ Adela beat me out at the very end. | |||
