<u>GAME IN HAND</u> [Diagram of a small square pyramid that has 4 holes in the bottom. Holes labeled 1, 3, 5, and 10.]  <br>
A manipulative game. The plastic pyramid has a ball inside  <br>
and at the bottom four holes (with another  <br>
bottom under to keep the ball from coming out). The  <br>
holes vary in size with the values. Didn't get details of the play.  <br><u>MOVEAICS</u> (which unfortunately is similar in mechanism to  <br>
<u>PUSH OVER</u>). The board is as shown. One player moves in the
horizontal direction and the other in the vertical, as shown by the arrows.
 
[Diagram of of an 11 x 11 square grid board. An arrow points right above the top row and another arrow points up along the rightmost column. 36 of the spaces are labeled with an X. 5 are labeled W, 5 are labeled R, 13 are labeled G, and 13 are labeled B.]
 
Thus each player has 5 avenues in which he can move. The tiles are set up as shown. Players in turn move one of the avenues. The tile
nearest to them in the chosen avenue is moved one space and any tiles next to it are also moved. Play until all tiles
have been pushed off the opposite ends.  <br>
Captured tiles score as follows : -  <br>
Blue or green - - - - - - -1 point.  <br>
Red or white - - - - - - - - 3 points.  <br>
