board. There are three "tactiles", each of a different shape, <br> | |||
and colored to match the three pcs. Players in turn hold a tactile in their fist <br> | |||
and the other guesses the color. If he guesses wrong the <br> | |||
other moves the color he held. If he guesses right no <br> | |||
piece is moved. As soon as any two pcs. reach the <br> | |||
center stars the round is over. A player scores one <br> | |||
point for reaching the center. A player loses one point <br> | |||
for not moving a pc. from the starting position and can <br> | |||
end up with a minus score. Play rounds until one player <br> | |||
has 5 points. (Fairly complete idea.) | |||

<u>Earl Perel</u> called. He has applied for a government grant to <br> | |||
study garietric (spelling?) used of games and got back forms <br> | |||
to be filled out. He asked if I'd want to work with him <br> | |||
on it. Sure. He discussed it with <u>Claude</u>, who doesn't want <br> | |||
to quit his job but might fit in as a consultant. Earl also <br> | |||
is thinking of asking <u>Wald and Arthur</u> but I don't think <br> | |||
that that would be a good idea - too many different opinions. <br> | |||
We'll get together next week to discuss it further. <br> | |||
Earl wrote to <u>S.W. Wynn</u> about <u>HEXAGO</u> (see 3/18). <br> | |||
Went over the parts I brought back from Rochester. Put the <br> | |||
material on <u>4000 A.D.</u> and <u>DRUG ATTACK</u> on shelf [26]. Put the material <br> | |||
on <u>NOSTALGIA</u> on shelf [14]. | |||
