Alan Zoff Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I would be grateful if someone would post the rules/how this is played. I have picked up a circular board/rink, dice and the coloured counters but haven't been able to work out the objects of the game, the value of the counters, etc.My French friends have been keeping me in suspense and I want to be able to surprise them.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Zoff Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks Clair.I have made a rough translation. Is there a simple way of translating the whole Wiki page to English to make sure I have got it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Zoff Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks again Clair. However, when I click on the link I get an error message saying, among other things, Cannot Open the Site - Operation Aborted. I have also tried pasting it into the address with Wki page open.It's sure to be me being silly as I have a bit of a mental block when it comes to computer language and I would be grateful if you could tell me how to use the link.

Clair Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I opens the 421 wiki page and translates it from French to English, well, it does on my laptop! [:)]Go to the wiki 421 French page, copy the URL, then go to Google translate and paste the URL in the second box (Translate a web page). That should give you the same result.EDIT: don't forget to set the languages (French to English)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Tried that. Same error message.I will wait for a visitor who knows more about this stuff than I do - anyone over 5 - and see if they can sort it for me. Perhaps there is a fault on my PC.But very grateful for your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Sorted.There was a problem connecting with my default Internet Explorer. My first visitor solved it immediately using Firefox (whatever that is....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
