SUNDAY 19 NOVEMBER
Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity 1967 323rd day - 42 days to come
(cont. from 11/8) [11/18]
Called Arthur. Set N.Y.G.A. meeting in his place next Friday.
Called Claude to confirm meeting next Friday.
Claude has an idea for a game he calls SEVEN. Players have checkers
of their own color and possibly one or more of opponent's color.
Checkers are put down one at a time alternately. Checkers in a
group which are touching, on edge or diagonally are valued as
follows:- pcs. in the color of the player +2, opponent's color -1.
a group that adds up to exactly 7 points counts 7 points for the
player. These values are for 2 players; probably would have to be
alterred for 3 or 4 players. He also thought of having dividing lines
between some of the squares to separate groups.
I suggested scoring for 11 also and minus for a 13. Also it might
be preferable to count only orthoganal connections, not diagonal.
--> [Sunday]<--
Thought of adding discs to I'M ALL TIED UP. These are
tangled up when the lines are tangled up at
the beginning. At first wanted to give plus
score for each disc untangled but this was
contradictory since in order to get a disc
the opponent's line would have to be removed.
Then decided to count each disc remaining on a team's
line as a minus when the first team disengages their
line.
[diagram with three lines running through ring/disc]
Sent $6.50 check for THE CREDIBILITY GAP GAME.
Made a board for ANOTHER. The complete material doesn't seem very
eye-catching.
Wrote to Haar Hoolim.
Caught up on game diary.
