MONDAY 15 FEBRUARY 1971
Washington's Birthday Celebration 46th day - 319 days to come
Looked at Lech Pijanowski's two recent letters, preparatory to
writing to him.
(cont. from 2/16) [2/16]
of Rudy Lopez' LIVE WIRE-QUICK SHOCK. At first she
wanted to send it to 3M but when I explained how close
it was she agreed that she couldn't. She thinks that
the idea of submitting it to be part of the package
has good possibilities, but she'll wait until she gets
some reaction from them on the one submitted.
She is thinking about limiting the contracts with X to
1 year. They haven't given her an answer yet on her
suggestion that the $250 be a closing fee, rather than an
advance on royalties.
Told Felicia about the games I saw in TOYS: -MASTERPIECE,
which she didn't know about; and RPM, which she did.
I mentioned that I was still thinking about a recycling
GAME. She said that she told Natelie Donna [Natalie?] about
the promotional GAME for Coca Cola, and I said "fine."
(cont. from 2/17) [2/19]
[arrow pointing from lower in paragraph] ships are placed, 1 at the coast of each country, each player having 3.
another. Each country has a "capital" in one province.
Each player starts with 5 infantry, 2 cavalry, and 2
country, the other pieces are divided equally between the
[arrow pointing to top line, likely to insert here]
other two countries. Each player also gets $100,000 in
cash. Pcs. can be placed at will, but no two in the same province.
In each capital, and also in each duchy a disk is
chosen at random and placed face down. This represents,
by numbers I, II, and III, an unknown defense factor. On
top of each capital disk each player places another marker,
of which he has three, marked 1/2, 1/3, 1/4. These are also
secret, but the player can place each in the capital he wishes.
Before starting the game the emperor of the "Holy Roman
Empire" is chosen. Each player has one vote, due to his province
in the H.R.E. Votes can be bargained for in any way. Deals
of any kind can be agreed on but there is nothing to stop a
player form backing out (which is true for any deals made).
If a majority cannot be achieved, each player chooses a
number form 1 to 6 and one die is thrown to determine
the vote of each duchy.
Duchies become the property of a player when the
player drawers a card saying he has inherited it. And they
can change hands by another card or in the following way.
A duchy can be captured in the same way as a capital,
see below.
