At "Cross Country" bought 4 sheets of cardboard and <br> | |||
a container of 3M glue. <br> | |||
At "Wanamaker's" looked at <u>DIMENSIONS</u> by "Pacific Games". <br> | |||
It is played by from 2 to 4 players on a 4 x 4 x 4 <br> | |||
field. The rules said that each player had 16 chips <br> | |||
but they also said that play continued until all <br> | |||
spaces were filled (how - with 2 or 3 players?) <br> | |||
Players in turn place a chip in any space or, <br> | |||
instead of placing a chip, can turn one of the upper <br> | |||
3 boards 1/4 turn in a clockwise direction. <br> | |||
Lines of 3 of a player's chips count 1 point in a <br> | |||
horizontal plane and lines of 4 count 2 points. <br> | |||
In a vertical plane (Including a long diagonal I believe) <br> | |||
a line of 3 counts 3 points and 4 counts <br> | |||
4 points. <br> | |||
Lines are scored as formed and in the case of <br> | |||
a turned board more than 1 line can be turned at a <br> | |||
time. Most points when all spaces are filled wins. <br> | |||
Mailed registered letters to myself on <u>TRANSFORMATION</u> <br> | |||
and <u>FREE FORM</u>. In the latter included drawings of <br> | |||
the equipment. | |||
Made the <u>PUZZLE</u> of 9/14 into a 2-hand <u>GAME</u> by <br> | |||
giving a definite starting position, allowing more <br> | |||
than 1 move in a turn (up to a total of 5). <br> | |||
Tried it with BB and it worked O.K. | |||

with me. I said sure and Phil asked me to call Carl. <br> | |||
Called and told Carl that Phil and I agreed on $250 <br> | |||
as an advance. He didn't sound quite as enthusiastic about <br> | |||
<u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u> to me as he had to Phil, but it does <br> | |||
look encouraging. His budget from "Guud" is not certain yet <br> | |||
but he is pretty sure. He'd like the rules by Jan. 11, unless <br> | |||
he contacts me otherwise. Reiss wants to do M.M for <br> | |||
$5, $6 at the most . <br> | |||
