Square Off

Published 1972

"Parker Brothers Game of Quick Connections" The game board consists of two 5-5 slide puzzles separated by a raised level with five slots. Each slide puzzle has 6 edge points marked with a number from 1-6. Tiles with the letters A-E are randomly inserted in the five slots between the puzzles. The puzzles consist of tiles with paths on them; each tile contains either a straight line or a line with a 90-degree turn. A letter and a number are randomly selected, then the players race to build a path with their tiles connecting the exit points with the chosen letter and number. Cool, real time, Alex Randolph game that has been reimplemented both as a Sudoku (Sudoku Slide!) and as a Rubik (Rubik's Race) game.
