PENTE
Glass bead baron to host competition
"Like love, it's easy to learn,
but hard to master.”
That's what advertisements
for the board game Pente say
And according to Ron Nardoz
za. Pente can be just as excit
ing Well, almost
‘‘ft spans all age groups,”
Nardozza says "It's something
you can learn fast, but the more
you get into it, the more stra
tegies are involved '
Nardozza operates Parlour
Games at the Fifth Street Public
Market. His shop will sponsor
the regional Pente playoffs Feb
6. and the winner will be flown to
Dallas for the world champion
ship The winner of the cham
pionship wins $5000 and a trip
to London for two
Pente is a game derived from
a 4000 year-old Chinese game
called "Go " According to Nar
dozza, chess, checkers, and
backgammon have all been
derived from the game
The game can De played with
two to four players Unlike most
other games that involve a lot of
different stratagies. Pente can
be played in ten minutes
Pente is played on a grid with
small colored glass balls called
"stones " The object of the
game is to line your stones on
the grid five in a a row, diagon
ally, horizontally or vertically
The other players can, of
course, make it hard for you to
acomplish this The players can
capture pairs of your stones
by surrounding them on the op
posite ends When a player
captures five pairs, he wins the
game
Nardozza, an avid Pente
player himself, plans to do
everything he can to help the
regional winner do well at the
world championship
"We re going to sit and play
until we get it down!" he says
jokingly
Even though Nardozza is
sponsoring the tournament
himself, he is not restricted from
the competition He has no
plans to get involved in the
competition, though
"I could compete, but I d feel
funny about it,” he says Hav
ing sponsored the thing, I d look
funny flying myself to Dallas "

to the movies are a prelude to
Tom's final escape in the foot
steps of his deserter/father
Also deserving special praise
is Mikel T MacDonald s perfor
mance as Jim, The Gentleman
Caller, a regular guy, who Tom,
as narrator, calls an emmissary
from the world of reality
A happy-go-lucky fellow, Jim
is eager to please, proffering
chewing gum and life-savers
and rattling off compliments,
one-liners and cliches Hostess
Amanda, who has donned an
ill-fitting gown from her younger
days as a southern belle in Ten
nessee in a effort to appear
young and gay, eats his praise
up and one gets the idea she s
already setting a wedding date
for Laura and Jim
The audience too, can't help
but smile at Jim's gosh-gee
mentality as he forever grins
and slaps his knee at his own
jokes
Jim is an average high school
graduate, who believes The
American Dream can be

acheived by learning "social
poise,” which, he says, is the
only thing separating he and
Tom trom the rich, “executive
types ”
The play's production staff
merits special commendation
for its attention to subtle
nuances of lighting to illuminate
certain poignant details, such
as Laura's silhouette sobbing
on the sofa or the glass men
agerie itself
Although the play ends on a
somewhat pessimistic note, a
faint glimmer of hope still
flickers as Laura — in a touching
final scene — refuses to suc
cumb to despair completely
The play runs nightly at 8 p m
through Feb 1
