15 (I believe) plastic | 15 (I believe) plastic cans with different labels. These are <br> | ||
stack in a 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 pile. A pack of cards matching the <br> | |||
labels is shuffled. Players in turn draw one and then must <br> | |||
remove the can they draw. If they cause one other can to <br> | |||
fall they get some penalty (I believe) but the game continues. <br> | |||
If the whole pile falls the round is finished with <br> | |||
some greater penalty. <br> | |||
<u>TENSION</u> (Kohner). Players have discs of different colors. There <br> | |||
is a board with round openings which show different <br> | |||
colors [illegible crossed out] after a revolving part comes to rest. There is <br> | |||
a different window which indicates the color for that <br> | |||
round. As soon as players see the color for the round <br> | |||
they try to place their discs of that color in the opening of the <br> | |||
color. There is one less opening of the proper color than there <br> | |||
are players so the one left out loses points. When less then [than] 4 <br> | |||
play some windows are covered by black discs. (Rough idea.) | |||
Played <u>LOTTERY</u> with BB & <u>Dale</u>. We all liked it and were <br> | |||
disappointed that we didn't have time to finish it. <br> | |||
We decided that the prices went up too quickly at the <br> | |||
higher end. Started working out a schedule in which <br> | |||
a new office increases the price by 80% instead of <br> | |||
100%. Also determined on a 45% increase in the starting <br> | |||
rate from color to color. When rounded to the nearest $100, <br> | |||
this amounts to the same starting values I had, but changes <br> | |||
[illegible crossed out] occurred with greater numbers of offices. | |||

Play starts with four pcs. on the board as shown. Each <br> | |||
player has two more pcs. which are placed on the <br> | |||
board in turn. After this new pcs. are "generated" by <br> | |||
[illegible crossed out] movement. If the player has two completely <br> | |||
separated groups (not even touching diagonally) and is <br> | |||
able to move a pc. of one group so that it touches <br> | |||
a pc. of the other group orthogonally a new pc. is generated <br> | |||
which must be placed in one of the spaces either orthogonally <br> | |||
or diagonally next to the stationery part of the <br> | |||
generating pcs. (Al originally allowed it next to either <br> | |||
