Thursday 9 May 1963
129th day - 236 days to come
All day at Parker.
Mr. Paperella told me of some changes they were working on with RISK.
For 2 handed game - each player gets 50 armies to start with & take turns placing them one at a time in any areas desired. Once a player has a pc. in a space the other cannot put one there. After all 50 are placed start the regular game.
They are also considering using this for all games regardless of the number of players. If they do the cards map spaces shown on the cards will lose their function for starting play. As a substitute they consider giving bonuses for trading in a card that has a space the player controls.
As the armies given for trading in cards increases there comes a point where the continent bonuses become insignificant. Doubling the value of the continent bonuses at some definite point is being considered.
