SATURDAY 14 MAY
1966 134th day - 231 days to come
Mounted the photostadt of the AIRLINE board on cardboard, and
prepared cards for travel cards, and cut pads for play money.
Rcd. a letter from [crossed out word illegible] Fr. Daniel.
Played RED LEtter RED LETTER at Weir meeting. Clara, Si, Lora,
Mike, Helen, and Sid played. Annette, BB & I watched. All
liked it except Sid, who still thought it was interesting.
Gave 10 points for each bonus chip (for words over 5 letters).
Helen finished her red letters first, but Lora, who got
a lot of bonuses, beat her by 5 points.
Decided, for the future, to change the 5 point letters
to 2, similar to the other levels.
Also will allow a player to pass thru a letter occupied
by another player, but not to land on the same space.
This will speed up the game by not having a player's planned
move blocked.
To stop a player from concentrating on bonuses and
completely ignoring red letters, I will limit the number
of bonuses a player can score at the end of the game
to 3 X the number of red letters he has covered. He
may get as many as he can, but only can score this
amount.
As an optional rule for advanced players I will include
masks that are given out, 4 to each player. These can
be used at any time a player wishes, more than 1
at a time if regart desired, but once used are oth out
of the game.
