Working on more <u>DIALEMMA</u> puzzles. Have 10 now.  <br>
<u>Bob Gellman</u> called. Went over slides still needed for <u>HOLIDAY</u>. He  <br>
is thinking of the possibility of eliminating Michele's slides  <br>
altogether.  <br>
I asked him about the was <u>GAME</u> that came up Thursday. <u>Bob Schneider</u>  <br>
wants a game about Patton. He gave me his number in New York  <br>
and asked me to call  <br>
{<u>Bob Schneider</u>  <br>
{734-1745  <br>
to talk to him about it.  <br>
Bob <s>called me</s> <u>Gellman</u> called me back to say that <u>Schneider</u> called  <br>
him and he has the game worked out. He is interested in advertising  <br>
in ''<u>S & T</u>''. I said that the game has tobe pretty realistic to appeal to  <br>
the readers.
Played <u>MASTERPIECE</u> with BB, Dana, <u>Dale & Phil</u>. Each player  <br>
started at at "Private Auction" space, chosen in order. Move one  <br>
space at a time. Differences from existing rules: "May sell to bank" -  <br>
choose picture. Throw 1 die and $50,000 times no. is a commission. May, instead  <br>
of selling to bank, put it for auction to highest bidder. If no one bids, the  <br>
picture is lost to the bank. "Private Auction" - choose one picture, opponent's  <br>
or own and have it auctioned. If an opponent's, player must start bidding  <br>
with $100,000. "Any space with a dollar value" - instead of following instructions  <br>
on space may buy any picture from an opponent. Throw 2 dice -  <br>
if 8 or less pay amount on space. If more than 8 pay twice.  <br>
Players must if possible always make a play. For instance if land on  <br>
"Buy from bank for $350,000" and all pictures are gone, must buy from  <br>
an opponent.  <br>
Intended to play until all players had gone around the board  <br>
once but this was too long. Stopped at half way.  <br>
Later thought of following changes: Players in turn can move 1 or  <br>
2 spaces. Mark the starting spaces with an arrow marker. As  <br>
soon as a player gets back to his start, or one space passed  <br>
with a move of 2, the game is ended unless all pictures  <br>
are not gone from the bank, in which caes continue till they are. In  <br>
any case players
