two or three sets, they may also turn them in, receiving
the regular increase for each set. This situation can arise
only when the total of the cards that a player holds, when
added to the cards of a player who they have eliminated,
equals 6 or more. They must turn in enough sets to reduce
the number of cards that they continue to hold to four or
less. These new armies must be placed on the board in the
usual manner. The player may then continue to play if they
wish, or they may pass the dice to the next player.

You are about to play the most unusual game that has
appeared in many years. It is not difficult, but because it is
so different you will find it worthwhile to read the rules
completely through before starting play. No attempt has
been made to teach strategy, as each player will develop his
or her own as he becomes familiar with the game.

O B J E C T

The object of the game is to occupy every territory on
the board and in so doing, eliminate all other players.

E Q U I P M E N T

A.

Six sets of playing pieces, each set of a different color,
consisting of a box of cubes and several oblong pieces in
a separate box. Each cube represents one army and the
oblong pieces are equivalent to ten armies.

B.

A playing board showing a map of the six continents,

each of which is subdivided into a number of territories.

C.

A deck of 44 cards.

D.

Six dice, 3 of which are red and 3 of which are
ivory-colored.

P R E P A RA TI ON

The board is placed on a card table or some other flat
surface. Each player selects a box of playing pieces of the
color that he/she chooses, and all of the oblong pieces of
that same color, to represent his/her armies during the
game. One player is selected to act as the dealer.

T H E CA RD S

Two of the cards in the pack are printed with three
figures: a foot soldier, a horseman, and a cannon. These
two cards are jokers. Each of the other forty-two cards
bears only one of the three figures along with a territory
which approximates the shape of one of the territories
on the board. There is one, and only one, card for
each territory.

T H E BO AR D

Before starting the actual play of the game, players
should study the board, which represents a map of the
world. The sizes and boundaries of the territories are not
accurate, but have been set to facilitate the play of the
game. As an example, the territory marked Peru includes,
in addition, the countr y of Bolivia. In a like manner
Alberta includes the provinces of British Columbia and
Saskatchewan. Iceland, Great Britain, Madagascar, Japan
and New Guinea each are separate territories. The territory
labeled Indonesia is made up of Borneo and surrounding
Islands.

There are six continents, which are composed of several
territories of the same basic color. These continents are:

A. North America,

Additional sets are worth extra armies in accordance

with the table listed below:

Third set 8 armies
4th set 10 armies
5th set 12 armies
6th set 15 armies
7th set 20 armies
8th set 25 armies

Each additional set

of armies by five. Thus, the 12th set turned in is worth 45
armies. It should be particularly noted that the value of the
sets of cards goes up each time a set is played, regardless of
which player plays them. For example, if a player who has
been unable to play a set of cards, turns in a combination
after three sets have been turned in by other players, he/
she is entitled to 10 armies. It is the total number of sets
of cards that have been played, regardless of who plays
them that determines the number of armies a player gets.
It is advisable to make one player responsible for keeping
a record on paper of the number of sets of cards turned
in. Cards that are turned in are placed faceup alongside the
draw pile to form a discard pile. If the draw pile is used
up the cards in the discard pile are reshuffled and place
facedown to form a new draw pile.

Because one oblong piece is equivalent to 10 armies, it
may be exchanged for 10 cubes (or vice versa) at any time
during the game. These exchanges will be a convenience
as larger numbers of armies come into play in the later
stages of the game.

(i). ELIMINATION OF OPPONENTS

One of the important plays of this game is the elimination
of an opponent. A player, who on his/her turn is able to take
from the board the last remaining piece of an opponent,
receives at once all cards that the opponent has in his/

her possession. He/she may combine them with the cards
they already hold, and if they can make a set, they may turn
it in immediately on that same turn to collect additional
