card of equal or greater value or, if necessary, 2 or <br> | card of equal or greater value or, if necessary, 2 or <br> | ||
more cards together. (For example: 1st player 10, 2nd <br> | more cards together. (For example: 1st player 10, 2nd <br> | ||
player 8 and 9 putting him 7 ahead). Continue in this | player 8 and 9 putting him 7 ahead). Continue in this <br> | ||
way, except that one suing may not tie but must be at <br> | |||
least one point ahead. At any time a player, having one, <br> | |||
may play an "Objection" card on the last card(s) played by <br> | |||
the opponent. Unless the other player immediately plays <br> | |||
an "Over ruled" card that witness is eliminated. Only one <br> | |||
"Objection" may be played on a particular card(s). A <br> | |||
player may play an "Appeal" card which automatically puts <br> | |||
them one point ahead of the opponent. An "Appeal" cannot <br> | |||
be "Objected". In the course of a trial any number <br> | |||
of "Appeals" can be played. If the player suing, either <br> | |||
because he is bluffing or because he is frightened by a <br> | |||
"Countersuit" does not play any cards the player sued <br> | |||
wins a tie suit. <br> | |||
After the <s>suit is com</s> trial is completed each player draws <br> | |||
enough cards to bring his hand back to 14. In addition, for <br> | |||
each "Appeal" card a player used he is entitled to draw <br> | |||
2 more cards, discarding any two to return to 14 cards. <br> | |||
Determine beforehand to play one or more times then the <br> | |||
deck. As soon as cards are not available to replenish a hand <br> | |||
the game is over. Most money wins. <br> | |||
Any equal amount of money can be given out at the start. <br> | |||
There is no bankruptcy. If a player has no money left <br> | |||
each player receives an extra sum <br> | |||
I suggested using circles along the edge instead of rectangles <br> | |||
so that it wouldn't look so much like <u>MONOPOLY</u>. Also a few <br> | |||
other minor suggestions. By the time Gary left he thanked <br> | |||
her, and forgot all about me. | |||
<u>Felicia</u> was very depressed about everything, business and personal. <br> | |||
The last time she spoke to <u>Bill Caruson</u> he sounded very discouraged, <br> | |||
but she didn't have courage enough to ask him about business. <br> | |||
I told her about <u>Jack Davis</u>' idea of getting together to draft <br> | |||
a letter to 3M on <u>BAZAAR</u> and checked whether she thought <br> | |||
it was a good idea, or whether she should do the writing. <br> | |||
She said to go ahead, but to get her a carbon. She asked <br> | |||
