SATURDAY 31 JULY 1971
212th day - 153 days to come
Rcd. the 2nd quarter check from 3M - $2,140.04. But there was
no statement breaking it down by games.
Rcd. THE FORUM (#2) - Simply a newsletter of NFFF Games Bureau new.
Called Felicia to tell her about the 3M check. She saw Dorothy Shapiro
of Brentano's. The The Sports Illustrated Football and
Baseball games are finally taking off.
Ordered the book YESTERDAY'S GAMES.
Felicia spoke about simple, timely games that are fun to
play. Remembered my game LOTTERY. Looked at it and I
think I can work it up to something good.
Thought of a PUZZLE idea. Have four posts with four
3 rods mounted on each so that they can pivot. At the
other end of each rod there is another hole. Object
to swing the rods so that they meet in groups of 3
so that 4 "bolts" can be dropped thru the meeting points.
For a much harder puzzle have the rods separate so that you
have to find the proper posts and order on the posts.
(cont. from 7/30) [7/29]
by the bank, even money if odd was picked, 2 for one if
even was picked (unless the player "dies" or lands on a town
belonging not his own). If the parity is correct and no death
or town is involved, the player can move again, leaving his wager
to accumulate, or may stop and collect his wager.
When a player lands on a field and no other player is on a
field of the same color, he collects for the number of units of
production of that field at $10 a unit ($10,000 to $40,000).
If one or more other players is on a field of the same color that
player (or players) tries to outbid the player by throwing
the die. If lower than the die the mover used, he takes the
bid away and collects that many dollars per unit. He also
takes away the move, regardless of position. If the mover
is lower he sells at that rate and continues his move if his
parity was correct. In case of tie for low no noe collects but the
move is not affected. Money is payed by the bank. If a player
is underbid by another the player collects his wager (I believe).
If a player picks the wrong parity his turn ends and his
wager goes to the bank.
At any time a player throws a 6 he is "dead" and
immediately removes his marker from the board.
When a player lands on another player's town he pays that
player $1000 per number on the die. The town owner also collects the
wager (I believe) and gets the move.
