Called <u>Earl Perel</u>. He enjoyed the meeting last night and wants  <br>
to get together again.  <br>
He brought up something that troubled him last night. He has  <br>
an idea for a <u>GAME</u> which he was afraid was similar to the  <br>
Amberstone's <u>BYWORD</u>. It is a game of making chemical compounds  <br>
using "element" cards which are laid out on the table.  <br>
He says there are also 2 decks. Didn't get all the details  <br>
but I don't think there is any problem. Next time, I  <br>
said, he should simply tell his idea at the time when  <br>
something like this comes up.
 
Yesterday I gave <u>Anthony Papa</u> a copy of <u>PSYCHE-PATHS</u> for  <br>
his birthday. He came in today for me to teach him the  <br>
game. Thought [Taught?] him the beginner's version and played one  <br>
game with him.

one of these is occupied the player must, after selling stocks  <br>
if he wishes, auction the right to call the marker to be moved.  <br>
Each player has exactly two bids, ending with the player who's [whose]  <br>
turn it is. I suggested making the voluntary sale of the right:  <br>
to choose the marker an optional rule to be used after players  <br>
are familiar with the game.  <br>
The fluctuations in the movement of the stock values was  <br>
greatly dampened in a new chart.  <br>
Claude modified my idea for the purchasing of stock as follows.  <br>
Players can buy one share of stock for each share they own. At  <br>
the end they can buy a "bonus" share in any type.  <br>
Earl & I were still very dissatisfied with the terminating  <br>
factor. I suggested the following: - There is now 1 - $50,000  <br>
bill in the game.When the bank is out of all other money this  <br>
will be given to a player collecting from the bank, giving whatever  <br>
change is required. Then a set number of additional  <br>
rounds will be played, the bank paying from a supplemental fund.  <br>
Earl showed me his game <u>ASTROCASTICS</u>. The board is something  <br>
like that for <u>MANIPULATION</u>. Around the edge are spaces  <br>
marked with the four elements: - air, water, earth, fire. The  <br>
four moving markers have 4 planetary markings. Each player  <br>
