THURSDAY 23 SEPTEMBER
First Day of Autumn  1971  266th day - 99 days to come
----
Rcd. a check for $7.20 and a letter from <u>Jed Gaines </u>thanking
me for sending him the copy of <u>INTERPLAY</u>.
----
On left bank bought a book <u>LE CODE DES JEUX</u>.  (Later found taht
I bought a copy last year in New York.)


Borrowed <u>Pierre</u>'s copy of the game <u>TILT</u> yesterday and
saw that it was a game of skill, rather than a manipu-
lative [manipulative] game as Pierre told me Tuesday.  Looked for it at
Samaritaine and Au Louvre but couldn't find the copy I saw
Tuesday.  Copied the rules and diagrams with some
help from BB.
In evening rode to <u>Pierre</u>'s on subway, without BB.
Pierre gave me copies of the rules for 4 games and
writeups from <u>LA REVUE DU JOUET</u> of 15 games.  (see 9/22.)
Peirre showed me three of his games and we played a little of
the last one.  The ideas were interesting but not completely worked
out.  He showed them to Miro and they were interested,
I believe, in the last one.  But they, too, won't do anything until
all the bugs are out.  I tried to be of some help, but there was
too much to do, and too little time.
<u>REVOLUTION </u>- For 2 to 4 players.  4 political parties are repre-
sented.  Black - anarchist <s>fascist</s> [crossed out], Red - communist, Blue - royalist, Green - center.
The board is a quadrille representing a city with a wall around
it an dfour entrances.  In the city is a 4-space
TV Studio, an 8-space Parliament, and a 12-space Factory.
Each player has (I believe) 12 of his pcs.  They enter the
city and move around orthogonally.  <s>The fascist move with
3 together ..., the communists ... </s> The royalists move
together ... [three dots drawn in a row], the communists ... [three dots drawn two above the third], the centerist ..[two dots drawn in a row], and the
anarchists move separately . [one dot drawn alone].  When two of a different opinion
touch another pc. orthogonally, his mind is changed and
he is replaced with the convincing color.  There are cards
which give players an advantage in a specified column
or row, which allows an enemy pc. to be convinced with only
one pc.  Object is to get a majority of pcs. in the
TV, Parliament, and Factory at the same time.  (Very rough idea.)
