as well we VIII ten you Aisl
1 how this interesting game is is
the prize after you have seen how much
iun there is in the game itself.
This game is called Manila to the Col
cen Gate" 1t hguratively represents the
experiences Of two travellers who sup
posed TO make the trip on two different
ships; both leaving at the same time.
The FIRST thing u do is to cut the game
out Of the Sunday Call and paste 1t on a .
heavy piece OF cardboard so 1t viii not
wrinkle as you play. -.
You vii remember that last Sunday we
published the game OF Spin the Top
sno suggested that 1T would be Kell to ;
keep that game for future use in p1aSfng
the cnes 10 follow Ifryoy have this gsEae !
cn hand use it f6r rglJ. counting; that is,
IN this game OF r1ianila; to the Golden
Gate" let one player spin the top the
boari published last Sunday, ,and where
the top points Ehsn it stops WI give ths
player the number of points he is to have
TO hls credit II It should point TO any
OF the multiplication squares, do not null
tirly. as that. wolld' make the score too
hiE for the prssnsak game OF manila to
tie Golden Cate bIrtsmeheIY count the
first number IN tbs. square as the score.
Or. II you should hndsit more convent
ent. you can use a5si6gIes dice. II there
ere 10 dice in the house you can make

suppose 3 shakes OF spins 6, he then
s,aclls q pin infe the board on circle of
the rouse marked Is. A does not shake
bet puts a pin into the circle marked
Ct The route 4. B then shakes again and.
sUpposing that he shakes 5. he moves
the pin on route B TO circle IL. A is then
entitled 10 move to circle CT route A. B
then shakes again and we will suppose
that he shakes ,; in that event he moves
tie pin TO L. A moves the pin on route
a 10 6.
You will have noticed by this time that
A always moves two circles farther along
his route every time 3 shakes entirely
regardless or what B has made on his
shake. B does all Of the shaking and you
can see that his progress will naturally
be very erratic- II he makes high throws
be will beat A to the Golden Gate and
thereby win the game, but IL he throws
oelow the average A will beat him. for A
keeps pegging away his two points every
time no matter what happens
b has the longer route OF the two, but
Il he is lucky he viii win-if not he loses.
Try il for yourself and see how il All
turns out. You will find 1t lots Of fun and
It will make the minutes Of a long win
ter evening fly by in a hurry.
