Thought of ideas for eliminating the "board game" look in <u>LOTTERY</u>. Have 6 cities instead of 7 and 6 offices in each, except one which has 5. Two dice of different colors locate the office "landed on." A third di with one face marked "CARD" and a second marked "BUY" direct a player, in addition to his landing move, to draw a card or to buy the landed on office for a price determined by throwing the two dice again. Possible idea -- throw one die, then decide whether want to buy or not. Price is $500 x the total of the two dice. The third die could have the numbers 1 to 4 on the other faces, for use in the lottery. | Thought of ideas for eliminating the "board game" look in <u>LOTTERY</u>.

The cities are each on a separate card with recesses for the markers, and can be arranged to fit the table. 2 other cards provide spaces for the "lottery" and the cards. | The cities are each on a separate card with recesses for the markers, and can be arranged to fit the table. 2 other cards provide spaces for the "lottery" and the cards. <br> | ||
Spoke to dad, he is almost finished translating the German book -- <u>EUGEN OKER'S SPIELWIESE</u>. <br> | |||
Tried to set up a flow diagram for <u>BEAT-THE-COMPUTER</u> and discovered a number of discrepencies. Decided not to review it. <br> | |||
Played 2 games of <u>BOUNDARY</u> with <u>Phil Laurence</u>. He beat me twice. It seems just about impossible to safely remove a "guard" from the gold row. <br> | |||

Called <u>Eve Auchincloss</u> and asked her if there would be any objection to my including <u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u> in my <u>BOOK WORLD</u> column. She didn't think so, and especially when I said it was a good game based on <u>GO</u> she wanted it in. Read her my introduction and she liked it.
