on for a | on for a long time, since there was almost 3 players <br> | ||
to stop one who was within one hop. Decided to make a double <br> | |||
a lost turn rather than a free turn among cities starting with <br> | |||
that number. Later decided to allow a free turn with <br> | |||
a double, but not into a city where all the hops have been taken. <br> | |||
Also, probably, a player cannot win on a double. <br> | |||
Played <u>DRILL FOR OIL</u> with Phil and Elaine. 1st game played that <br> | |||
the order of play always remained constant. This was very <br> | |||
unfair to those going later. Played a second game with the <br> | |||
rule that the player with least wells, picks - and later plays - <br> | |||
first. In case of tie throw dice and low goes first. When <br> | |||
all property has been claimed, the player claiming the last <br> | |||
piece then drills and continue in clockwise order <br> | |||
(which is not the way we did it, but is probably better). <br> | |||
The second game was much closer. <br> | |||
Played <u>AIR BATTLE</u> with Phil. It played O.K. except that the <br> | |||
record keeping was a little tricky. Phil suggested just <br> | |||
having the airfields and the guns, and I think he is right. | |||

and Adela. They liked them. <br> | |||
At first showed me a <u>PUZZLE</u> he was working on. There were <br> | |||
two plastic pcs. with two sizes of holes and <br> | |||
some spaces without holes (Similar to sketch <br> | |||
shown). There are 3 pegs (as shown). <br> | |||
[Diagram of a 4 x 4 grid with holes as described above. Also shows one 'peg'.] | |||
Object is to one pc. on the lower level <br> | |||
so that it is stable and the other on <br> | |||
the upper level. <br> | |||
This was rather easy, but he is making <br> | |||
another one with 3 levels, which will make <br> | |||
it much more challenging. <br> | |||
I asked about his "Checkerboard" <u>PUZZLES</u> (see 1/21). He <br> | |||
decided to try it with <u>Edson</u>. Edson was talking about <br> | |||
Hallmark or Gabriel. With Gabriel, Edson was talking about <br> | |||
having them marketed as <u>Piet Hein</u> puzzles, which didn't <br> | |||
make Al very happy. <br> | |||
