DIAMAZE 

After an all-night poker game Lord Carruthers 
owes you a great deal of money. You knew he 
was cheating, but you were able to win because 
of your superior playing skills. Carruthers, how-
ever, is a man you cannot trust. He claims he is 
unable to pay his debt to you because he is "cash 
poor;" all his funds are tied up in properties and 
investments. He makes the following proposal:

"I say, old bean, I almost forgot about my diamond 
mine!  If you will cancel my debt, I will let you 
have the run of my diamond mine for as long as a 
lamp can hold out. You can keep whatever gems 
you find. It could bring you much more than what 
I owe you! What do you say?"

You have to give this careful consideration. You 
probably will never get your money any other way. 
But this idea of his could be dangerous, and if 
Carruthers is as devious as he seems, it could be 
downright fatal! He will probably give you a lamp 
that does not hold much fuel, and when it goes out 
you'll be stuck in the dark... FOREVER!

You also wonder if there are enough gems lying 
about to cover the debt. Most of the diamonds are 
probably still locked deep in the rock walls of the 
mine.

Should you take Lord Carruthers up on his offer?

Yes, you accept the challenge, but you have some 
"cards" up your own sleeve in THIS game. You will 
take his lamp, but you have a fuel gauge that will tell 
you how much time you have left at any moment. You 
will also smuggle in ten sticks of dynamite to let you 
get at some of those unexcavated areas. And, best of 
all, you have a specially designed X-ray scope that 
shows you where the diamonds are, even behind walls. 
With careful timing and well planned use of the 
explosives, you may very well be able to clean out 
Lord Carruthers' mine and teach him a lesson he will
never forget!

Good Luck!!!
