Played 3-hand <u>FREE FORM</u> and it certainly was not over too quickly. I beat <u>Phil</u> twice and <u>Dale</u> beat me once, which by the scoring system resulted in a tie between Dale and me. Decided to use a scoring system. If A beats B, A scores +5 points, B scores -4 points, and C scores -1 point. <br> | SATURDAY 26 DECEMBER 1970 <br> | ||

Played <u>PLANES</u> with Mike & Annette, "Sid & Clara", and Si, and myself. First tried each for himself but that wasn't too good. Then played three partnerships which was a lot better. Si, Mike, and Annette (who was my partner) liked it. Sid & Clara no. <br> | Played <u>PLANES</u> with Mike & Annette, "Sid & Clara", and Si, and myself.

With the necessity of having two planes with 4 before a trick could be taken, the player who was finally able to take a trick had a big advantage. Later played two hand with BB and it developed into a regular pattern. 9 tiles would be placed, then the player placing the 10th gave the other player a choice of three planes. Since the progression was by 5 the opportunity to take the trick varied (and would with all numbers of players except 5), but did not allow for much variety in the play. | With the necessity of having two planes with 4 before a trick could be taken, the player who was finally able to take a trick had a big advantage.
