Thought of ideas for eliminating the "board game" look in <u>LOTTERY</u>. Have 6   <br> cities instead of 7 and 6 offices in each, except one which has 5. Two dice of   <br> 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.  <br>

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>

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>
