Line 20: Line 20:


One player plays "horizontal" and the other "vertical". In turn they turn a projection
One player plays "horizontal" and the other "vertical". In turn they turn a projection
in their own direction. There are different variations : free choice, a quadrant determined by <s>free choice</s> throw of a die, one quadrant finished before starting next, projections next to line cannot be turned before all others in quadrant are turned, projections of one color must proceed another (there are, I believe, 3 different colors and the projections can be rearranged in the base),  <br>
and others. After all are turned score as follows : -  <br>
Bars linked end to end in players direction - 2 - 4, 3 - 9, 4 - 16,  <br>
5 - 25, 6 - 36, 7 - 49, 8 - 64.  <br>
Bonus Points : - 1) Bars turned in each corner of a quadrant - 5 points.  <br>
2) For <u>most bars</u> in a row "perpendicular" to the player's regular  <br>
alignment (??) - - - 10 points.  <br>
3) For most bars on either diagonal - - -10 points.  <br>
Penalty Points : -  -3 for each single (non-liked) bar.  <br>
<u>STICKY PROBLEMS</u>. The board is as shown. There are 24 flat pcs. as shown with arrangements of 4 colors. These are placed 1 at a time to stand up in 24 of the 25 spaces. Players try to get specific configurations of their own color. The configurations include lines of 4, some letters of the alphabet, and probably others. The rules were quite unclear and I didn't bother to dope them out.  <br>
[Diagram of a 5 x 5 arrangement of 25 round flat spaces. Dashed lines connect some of them in crisscross 8-pointed star pattern. To the right there there is a stack of boxes shaded to show 5 different colors [perhaps]]
Played part of a game of <u>IMULSE</u> (she preferred the name  <br>
<u>DISPERSAL</u>) and she liked it. Showed her <u>SPACE STIX</u> and  <br>
she liked the packaging. Packaged the two of them together  <br>
and took them, and a covering letter, to send to Hallmark  <br>
when we left.  <br>
Returned the rules for <u>LE JEU DU 420</u> and <u>L'ANNEAU ENCHANTE DE TOM TIT</u>  <br>
