NEW GAMES WITH YOUR CHESS OR CHECKER SETS

by [Military Strategy Games]: Palafox, R[omulo] A.[rzadon]

  • Used
Badoc, Ilcos Norte, Philippines: Published by the Author, 1940. 91,[1]pp. Large octavo (23.4 x 15.7 cm). Stiff printed wrappers with pictorial vignette. Small chip from upper fore-corner of rear wrapper, small adhesions at staples and at lower edge of terminal leaf, three tiny stab holes from former (now absent) stiff card folder; otherwise, a very good copy. First edition. An intriguing exposition of war strategy games to be played out with chess or checker sets, based on the European theatre and the Sino-Japanese war. The rear wrapper announces a forthcoming sequel, including "The Invasion of Poland" and "Mines and Ships." It is noted that purchase of this book upon its original publication "includes the privilege of consulting the author on game questions and problems by mail." A coupon with a manuscript serial number at the end of the text authorizes that privilege. Scarce: OCLC locates seven copies. The Japanese invasion and beginning of the occupation of the Philippines followed in Dec. 1941, and it seems unlikely that this book enjoyed wide distribution in the wake of those events. OCLC: 5429775.
