Thursday 29 December 1966
363rd day - 2 days to come
Called Jules Cooper. In conference. Supposed to call back but
didn't.
Dreamt of an idea for a game which could be called
ELECTION CHESS. It is played on a map of the United States
including Hawaii and Alaska which will have to be as
connected to 1 or two states (to be determined). Two play.
Each has a token. The first player places his token in any
state, then the 2nd places his. Then in turn each moves to
any adjacent state he wishes. Each time a player enters
a state he can, if he wishes, take the electoral votes for that
state, if they haven't been taken. One limitation; a player
cannot take the electoral votes from a state lower with less
votes than one he has already taken. If a player has
no more states available before he has a majo majority of
electoral votes, he loses the game.
