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>

I asked him about the war <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>

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 to be pretty realistic to appeal to <br>

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>

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 case continue till they are. In <br>

any case players who went after at start get a catch up <br>

turn. When selling to bank, instead of a commission there is <br>

a fluctuation. An odd number is up and an even number is down. <br>

In buying a picture from another player throw one die. 1 to <br>

At the end of a player's turn he may look at the value <br>

of one picture, paying $50,000 to the opponent whose picture <br>
