FRIDAY 15 APRIL
1966 105th day - 260 days to come
To Aur Arthur's. Claude there.
Played Arthur's MERLIN'S SOLITAIRE a few times. (See 4/6).
A few clarifications. A card cannot be turned up while there is any
possibility of piling. A card can only be turned up in a direct
line with another Faced card or pile with no cards in between, but
may have empty spaces. The allowable piling was changed to
cards in a line, with no cards between, or corners of a rectangle,
with no other cards in rectangle.
Played several games of INVASION. Worked out quite well
except that the game tended to concentrate in one spot.
Played several games of Claude's new version of WATCH. Use
the 4 cards of 7 ranks and deal 25 of these out in a
5x6 square, face up. First player places a marker on any card
he wishes. 2nd then can place on any card except one of
same rank. He also will not place his marker next to or on
a rank that is next to the 1st player, as he would lose at once.
Players in turn move to the next face-up card in any orthogonal
direction. As they leave a card it is turned face up down and is
out of play. Win by landing on opponent or on a card of same
rank he is one.
