She'll set up a meeting with Harvey Gardner early next week and I'll bring him a copy of <u>AGOG</u> and we'll discuss the matter. She also thinks it possible for both deals to go thru.

He had a new idea for his <u>GAME</u> with "the green deck" to stop the type of play I used. When a player calls "green" he must reach it within a number of cards equal to the number of cards he has already called (For example if he has called 6 cards, regardless of how many are "correct" and how many are "wrong," he must reach the green card in 6 cards.) If he does not reach the green in the req'd number he does not count the cards after the green as "correct", but only those before the green are counted "wrong."

Played it with BB and the arbitrary division of the pcs. wasn't very satisfactory. Tried each choosing a pc. in turn but this tended to become routine. The best idea would be to have a number, from 1 to 12, on each pc. and to have 12 small cards numbered 1 to 12.
