Description: This is for four vintage 3M bookshelf games from the 60s. They have you know somewhere, but they still look pretty good for his age. The inside gameplay bits are all pristine. 1, Quinto : Part of the 3M Bookshelf Series Quinto is essentially Scrabble with Numbers. The game begins with each player drawing a ‘hand’ of five tiles (numbered from 0 to 9). Players then take turns placing their numbered tiles on the board so that the sum—of row(s) and column(s)—is equal to a multiple of the "Multile" number (5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) which has been randomly selected for that round. Second, no row can consist of more than five numbers. Finally, if a player places all five of their tiles in a single turn, they must be able to score in at least two directions. Once all the tiles have been placed, players are docked points for any tiles they have not used; highest score wins. The red "Multiles" were introduced in the 1968 edition; the previous (1964) edition didn't have those, and is played as if the "5" Multile were always the one drawn. 2. Jumpin : Part of the 3M Bookshelf Series. Each player has 12 metal pawns (which feel great to hold and move!) and the object is to move these pawns into the back two rows on the opposite side of the board. The first player to accomplish this is victorious. Movement is very basic. A pawn can only move by leaping over other pawns, ala Chinese Checkers. However, a pawn may leap over any number of pawns that are in a row, either vertically or horizontally. Players alternate making moves until someone wins. 3. Phhlounder : Dice are rolled to determine the type of word (noun or verb) and length. All players start pulling letters off the board by sliding them along various tracks to an exit point, and discarding letters at entrance points. Alternatively, players can play without the board, just picking tiles. The first player who come up with a word rings the bell. Scoring ensues. The person with the highest score after 11 rounds, wins. Part of the 3M Bookshelf Series. 4. Executive decision: First, you decide on what finished goods you want to sell and how much, based on your capital. Based on that, you buy the raw materials necessary to do that. You combine raw materials to make finished goods. You sell the finished goods. You have to bid on the purchase price of the raw materials and the sales price of the finished goods. When supply exceeds demand the prices drop. When demand exceeds supply the prices rise. If you bid less than the going price, you get nothing. Easy to learn, but interesting strategies. Somewhat mechanical, but a good game by Sid Sackson. Part of the 3M Bookshelf Series.
