FRIDAY 28 JUNE
1968 180th day - 186 days to come
Called Melmick. Try Monday.
Called Alice. She already sent out THESE UNITED STATES.
She will send a letter to Will Erickson and I will
write a covering letter to Bob Claude.
The VENTURE CAPITAL model came back. Didn't set a
date for me to pick it up.
Told her about LOKI to tell Felicia.
Met Claude, Arthur, & Wald at Cerima.
Claude gave me a present of 5 dice for CROWN AND ANCHOR
We played Claude's game NEXT on a new board which
Claude says is topographically equivelent to his old
one.
[diagram of rectangle shape composed of 5 rectangles and 4 squares]
There are 3 red, 3 blue, and 3 green chips.
2 play. Players in turn place one of
chips, any color they choose, in any space.
Two chips of the same color may not be
in adjacent spaces. Last to place a chip
wins.
In a store Claude and I stopped in a woman told us
about a book HOW COME? published by Doubleday. It
has short narratives with some kind of a puzzling
happening and says "How Come." Answers are given
to check the player's ideas.
Arthur and I played his CASANOVA. Same rules as 10/27/67 except
that combinations can be made using one pile in all of them
whether it moves to another or another pile moves to it.
Arthur told me of a new three hand version of KNIGHTS & VASSALS.
The 3 players bid for the right to play the dummy. Bids
are made of the basis of the difference in score between
the two sides. Each hand is separate and there is no carry-
over of "prize" cards from hand to hand. Arthur had it that the
amount of the bid was either won or lost. I mentioned the
double loss in 3-hand PINOCHLE and he thought it was a good idea.
Played VENTURE CAPITAL with Claude, Arthur, and another fellow. At
first started with a rule that it wasn't necessary to make a
play. Soon saw that it wouldn't work and played with the original
rules. They liked it but we didn't finish it.
Claude had a new little game which we named SWINDLE. There are
three sets of three cards as follows:- [in circles: 1, 2, 3; over two dots: 1, 2, 7, in triangles: 1, 2, 4]
3 play and each get one set of cards, by chance. Each player
plays one card of his choice face down. If the total is a prime number
the player with 0 loses. If the total is divisible by 2 .. loses. If
the total is divisible by 3 [triangle] loses. If the total is divisible by both 2 and
3 (as 6 or 12) & loses. The loser pays one chip to each of the
(cont. on 6/26)
