7 Sunday - January 1973
Baptism of the Lord - 7th Day - 358 Days to Come
Got an idea for eliminating the board in THE BRAIN GAME.
Made a series of 9 colored trays to hold the cards.
Numbered them from 1 to 9. The player in his turn can pick
either white die or the sum of the two. A double on the
white die allows a trade of any numbered card (not black)
of the same color, A triple or two colored cards for one.
A triple allows a one for one trade between different colors
(still not black).
Played with the Saperstiens and I thought it worked very well.
(Harold missed a board as a focus for the attention.) Phyllis
and I came out in an exact tie for first.
Harold is very interested in military history. Some time ago
I gave him a copy of S&T with BASTOGNE (#20). He found
it difficult to understand. I gave him a copy of
NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO and then copies of S&T #32, 33, 34, and 35.
(cont. from 1/8) [1/9]
drop one and get 13 along each side of the remaining 4,
in a different orientation. Then the same with 3 dice. (Rough
idea.) (Felicia wasn't interested.)
Saw a game L'ANNEAU ENCHANTÉ DE TOM TIT with two subgames -
LE BLOCUS (not the same BLOCUS I saw in 1971) and LA BOMBARDE.
Told Felicia that it might be good as a strategy game - which
x wants.
Took the rules of [illegible crossed out] L'ANNEAU ENCHANTE DE TOM TIT and
LE JEU DE 420 for further study (and got reproductions at
simulations)
After Oddette left talked to Felicia awhile. Today she called
Dynamic Design. They are just beginning to look at FREE FORM,
FOREIGN INTRIGUE, etc. (see 12/7/72). She also called Bob Johnson.
The contract for FOCUS is in legal now and they are tied
up with a number of problems (not on FOCUS) but we should
be getting the advance any day now. They are still interested
in looking at 2-hand strategy games. 3M is interested
in puzzles.
[started 1/9]
(cont. from 1/6) [1/11]
hadn't been able to get their games ready until 12/29/72.
