  • Score sheets

    PDF · US Letter · 8 pages

    The eight sheets from the back of the book, printed larger: a Dots and Boxes lattice, two sea-battle spreads, a Jotto log, a Bulls and Cows deduction table, the racetrack circuit, a Categories grid, and a blank column for whatever else you are playing.

  • Fleet grids

    PDF · US Letter · 4 pages

    Sixteen lettered and numbered ten-by-ten grids, four to a sheet — enough for eight full games of Sea Battle or Salvo without anyone having to rule a grid by hand first.

  • The sixty games

    PDF · US Letter · 2 pages

    Every game in the book on two pages: how many people it needs, how long it takes, and whether it wants plain paper or squared. Use it to pick a game before you open the book.

  • Rule cards

    PDF · US Letter · 2 pages

    Twelve cut-out cards, six to a sheet, carrying the complete rules for the games most often wanted away from the book — Noughts and Crosses, Dots and Boxes, Sprouts, Sim, Sea Battle, Bulls and Cows, Jotto, Ghost, Categories, Doublets, Nim and Bachet's Hundred.

About this material

Everything on this page is Valice Press's own work, generated from the book's manuscript data. The rule cards carry the book's own wording for twelve games; the provenance notes and the strategy notes stay in the book.
