SATURDAY 19 MARCH
St. Joseph 1966 78th day - 287 days to come
Rcd. a letter from Alice with a $50 check for Feb. payment as
consultant for Hallmark.
Finished writing the rules for DATA PROCESSING
Tested 2-handed SKILL CARRÉ with BB and with Dale. Worked
well and I later found that it was at least as good with
the necessity to go for each size square eliminated.
Claude and Anne over in evening. Tried two variations of
CINEMA and neither worked very well. Used the following
table for all pictures:-
[diagram:
(five stars) 25,000,000; 26,000,000
(four stars) 20,000,000; 23,000,000
(three stars) 15,000,000; 20,000,000
(two stars) 10,000,000; 17,000,000
(one star) 5,000,000; 14,000,000]
Each player given 40,000,000 to start. The property
cards are separated. For $3,000,000 each
player can buy a property and 8 other cards.
If want a 2nd property before finishing
first can buy it and 8 other cards for $15M.
A third costs $20M. If finish a picture be-
fore starting get new ones at the lower rate.
Didn't finish it, but too often the right
cards didn't come out.
The second version was played similar to rummy. Each player
dealt one property card and 12 others. Draw and discard,
but the discards are kept in front of the player. At a player's
turn he may, instead of drawing, buy another player's
discard. Pay off on the above table. Didn't finish it since
it dragged.
