Dana brought <u>ACQUIRE</u>
Dana brought <u>ACQUIRE</u>, <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>, <u>TWIXT</u>, <u>SLEUTH</u>,  <br>
and <u>MR. PRESIDENT</u> to WRVR.
 
Called <u>Claude</u> and found he was at <u>Earl</u>'s. called there and  <br>
spoke to both of them. Possibly we'll get together next week.  <br>
<u>Earl</u> told me of a game one of his Chinese students told him  <br>
about, and which reminded him of <u>XANDO</u>. It is called  <br>
<u>3-6-9</u> and id played with pencil and paper. A 9 x 9 array is
drawn. Players in turn place an X in any space. When  <br>
a player places an X that makes a row of 3, 6, or 9 X's in  <br>
one, or both, orthogonal directions he scores that many  <br>
points. He also places another X and continues placing X's  <br>
until he places one that doesn't score. High score when  <br>
the 81 spaces are filled wins.  <br>
<u>Earl</u> said that diagonal lines can also be counted. I  <br>
tried it a little by myself and it's hard enough to see  <br>
just using orthogonals.  <br>
<u>Earl</u> said that he'd like to try his game <u>ASTROCASTICS</u> when,  <br>
and if I go there next week.
 
Sent <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u> disclosure form and a short letter to  <br>
<u>Keith Tuggle</u>.  <br>
Sent a condolence card to <u>Felicia</u>'s Claude - his brother's death.
