These are probably the | These are probably the two puzzles <u>Felicia</u> mentioned sending <br> | ||
to Hallmark. (See 7/28). I mentioned this to Al and he <br> | |||
didn't know what she had done with them. Felicia never told <br> | |||
him about Hallmark. <br> | |||
He had a bunch of tetrahedrons made up with each of the <br> | |||
four points painted a different color. He is playing around <br> | |||
with making his <u>GAME</u> (see 4/17) into a 4-hand game. He <br> | |||
is using a checkerboard instead of a <u>GO</u> board. <br> | |||
In the 2-hand version we played on 4/17, he is thinking <br> | |||
of limiting captures to 3 in one turn, instead of as <br> | |||
many as a player can make. He thinks this will work out better. <br> | |||
For the 4-hand I suggested his using slices of square <br> | |||
tubing instead of the tetrahedrons, so as not to scare a <br> | |||
manufacturer with the expense. <br> | |||
He had an extra MB 1971 Catalog which he gave me. <br> | |||
He had a book ''<u>DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT DECISION GAMES</u> which <br> | |||
he loaned me. It is an 8 1/2" x 11" soft cover book which can be <br> | |||
reproduced for a little over $5.00. <br> | |||
We played <u>FRANTIC SPELLBINDER</u> and it worked so well that I <br> | |||
decided to eliminate my old rules and use only this as <br> | |||
<u>SPELLBINDER</u>. We ran out of length cards while Al & Adela still <br> | |||
had letter cards. Put back a 5 and a 4 but not sure if I'll actually add <br> | |||
them/ Adela beat me out at the very end. | |||
