Keesdrow & Keesdrow Deluxe
Company: Pywacket Games
Product Description:
Players compete for high score by identifying words within a maze of letters, and score points based on the letters used. Connect letters in sequence (up, down, left, right or diagonally) to make words.
Use a letter the first time and insert a green peg for the value shown. Use a letter a second time and insert a yellow peg for double value. Use it a third and final time and insert a red peg for triple value.
There are two primary strategies. The first is to build on previously played letters to score double or triple points. The second strategy is to spell words with multiples of the same letter such as "bubble" and score premium points on those letters used more than once.
End play by one of two ways. Play a set number of rounds after which high score wins. Or play toward a point goal such as 200 points and the first player to reach the goal wins.

MINISTERS Chess
Company: Corinthian Games
Product Description:
MINISTERS™ symmetric chess employs a 9x9=81-squares folding board, 19.5”x19.5” with MINISTER™ pattern on one side and conventional chess on other. TWO games in one! 36 tournament size (3 3/4" king) impact plastic chess pieces. Cloth Chess bag and a vinyl roll-up board also included! The king is flanked by two queens, each called "minister", the historic name of the queen of chess, establishing symmetry about the king. Special Now $32.95. Seal of Excellence. The game simply adds the hitherto absent symmetry to chess. In the process it enlarges the battle field from 64 to 81 squares. The result is a powerful game with powerful armies, wherein each king is protected by a minister on each side; instead of the king's bishop-side weakness of conventional chess. It is highly educational, creating new interest in chess, and teaching that even today, 2000 years later, it is never too late to re-write history.
