Rcd. the card game - <u>ELECTION</u>. The play is very much <br> | |||
borrowed from <u>VENTURE</u>. | |||
Played or rather watched the 4 <u>Horn</u>'s play <br> | |||
<u>FAIRY TALE GAME</u>. They liked it. It ran about 1/2 hour. | |||
[Started 7/24] [arrows pointing up and down to previous and next paragraphs.]<br> | |||
At night tried to come up with <u>ONE AT A TIME BY THE MILLIONS</u> <br> | |||
for ''<u>WOMAN'S DAY</u>''. No success. | |||
While downtown went to Alexander's and bought a copy of <br> | |||
Samsonite's edition of <u>AMOEBA</u> (for $1.99). <br> | |||
Looked at <u>SCARNE DICE</u>. See 7/23/69 and the following are <br> | |||
additions and revisions (but still not complete by any means). <br> | |||
When playing for chips a throw of 5 of a kind - including <br> | |||
"dead" - wins the pot (which ordinarily goes to the high <br> | |||
score at the end of 7 frames). When playing without <br> | |||
chips it scores 100 points. With 4 of a kind the 40 points are <br> | |||
won if the dice are number, 4 "dead" scores 25 points. <br> | |||
None of the other combinations allow the use of "dead". <br> | |||
The point score is the sum of the numbers in a live throw. <br> | |||
I believe that a player may rethrown all or part of a live throw <br> | |||
to try for more points, but risks getting a "dead". <br> | |||
A variation scores for multiples of 5 only. Players in turn <br> | |||
throw five dice, then can throw up to 4 [illegible crossed out] live dice, <br> | |||
then up to 3 live dice etc. When all live dice add up to a <br> | |||
multiple of 5, score 1 point for each 5. 15 points wins. | |||
