Of the two board games, Coppit or Focus, which was a game for 2 to 6 players and is based partly on luck?
Coppit
Focus (board game)
Focus is an abstract strategy board game, designed by Sid Sackson and first published in 1964 by Kosmos.
 The game has been re-published many times since, sometimes under the titles "Domination" or "Dominio".
 "Focus" won the 1981 Spiel des Jahres and Essen Feather awards.
 The game appears in Sackson's "A Gamut of Games" in the section "New Battles on an Old Battlefield".
Coppit
Coppit is a running-fight board game created in 1927 by Otto Maier Verlag which was originally called in German: Fang den Hut (or Capture The Hat in English).
 It was renamed and has been re-released several times, most notably by the Spear's Games company in 1964.
 It is a game for 2 to 6 players and is based partly on luck with a die and partly on strategy.
 It is similar to the game Ludo and is nominally a children's game.
Mū tōrere
Mū tōrere is a board game played mainly by the Māori people from the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island.
 It is one of two board games that the Māori people are known to have played before their country became part of the British Empire. List of word board games
Word board games are those games played on a board as players of the game attempt to construct words that use a scoring system.
 The player with the highest score wins the game.
 Many if not most board games are also available as software programs and online.
 Online word board games can be organized so that the player is playing against other people or the game can be played against an automated program acting as an artificial intelligence.
 Players of some word board games organize themselves into associations, clubs, and tournaments. Landslide (board game)
Landslide is the name of two board games about the U.S. presidential elections, where players compete to become the president of the United States. Francis Tresham (game designer)
Francis Tresham is a United Kingdom-based board game designer who has been producing board games since the early 1970s.
 Tresham founded and ran games company Hartland Trefoil (founded 1971), a company well known for its "Civilization" board game, until its sale to MicroProse in 1997.
 His "1829" game was the first of the "18xx" board game series and some of his board games have inspired Sid Meier computer games such as "Railroad Tycoon". The Market of Alturien
The Market of Alturien is a board game for 2 to 6 players, released in 2007.
 Players assume the roles of stall traders in a market town, competing to attract customers.
 The board is divided into squares, with most squares permitting the building of a stall, always by at most one player.
 Six Customer models of varying wealth are moved about the board (no backtracking, although they may walk in circles) by the players according to the rolls of the dice, and spend their money at the stall at which they arrive.
 After at least one player has reached a predetermined amount of wealth, a Thief is released from the docks and may also be moved by the players - stealing from whosever stall he arrives in front of.
 If a player does not like the result they roll at the start of their turn, then they may move the Thief and then roll again, although they may not repeat this procedure a second time.
 Also once per turn, a player may buy either an additional market stall, an extension to one of their preexisting stalls (that sells more goods when a customer arrives at it), an "investment" (from a set of four that offer various special rules, such as being able to roll two dice and pick the most satisfactory result), or a "prestige card", which determine the winner of the game. David Parlett
David Parlett (born 1939) is a games scholar, historian, and translator from South London, who has studied both card games and board games. His published works include many popular books on games and the more academic volumes "The Oxford Guide to Card Games" and "The Oxford History of Board Games", both now out of print.
 Parlett also invented a number of board games, the most successful of which is Hare and Tortoise (1974).
 The German edition was awarded Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) in 1979. Blue and Gray (board game)
Blue and Gray is an strategy board game for two players invented by Henry Busch and Arthur Jaeger in 1903.
 They obtained a patent for the game, but may never have published it.
 Blue and Gray was featured in the book "A Gamut of Games" (1969) by Sid Sackson.
 It was also featured in "The Book of Classic Board Games" (1991) by Klutz Press under the name Cats and Dogs.
 In this book, the game was ranked among the top 15 board games of all time, including checkers, backgammon, Go, and mancala.
 The game is also known as Wild West, Thumps Game, and Captain and Soldiers.
 The name Blue and Gray "refers to the uniforms of the South and the North in the Civil War and in the original game the playing pieces of the contestants were of those colors." American-style board game
American-style board games are a loose category of tabletop games that generally feature a prominent theme, encourage direct conflict between players (even in some co-op games such as ""), and have a significant degree of luck.
 They are distinguished from Eurogames (German-style board games) in that American-style games often have longer playtimes and mechanics designed to suit the theme.
