<u>Felicia</u> called. | <u>Felicia</u> called. She asked if I had a color picture of <br> | ||
a <u>GAME</u> by <u>Bob Martin</u> that looked like a <u>MONOPOLY</u> <br> | |||
variation. Told her I remembered seeing it but didn't <br> | |||
think I had it. <br> | |||
She put <u>Chuck Daugherty</u> on with a question. He has a <br> | |||
children's card game, tentative name <u>ECO-CARD</u>, for <br> | |||
EduCards. There are pictures of pollution problems on <br> | |||
one side with solutions on the others. Players draw a <br> | |||
card and the player on the left answers the problem. <br> | |||
Correct answer keeps the card. (Rough idea.) Chuck was <br> | |||
wondering how to determine first play. I suggested <br> | |||
oldest player, since going first was not an advantage. <br> | |||
(Felicia called later to say she thought of it independently.) <br> | |||
Chuck said that Felicia found the picture. Didn't <br> | |||
ask the name and wasted some time later looking <br> | |||
for the reference to it, without success. <br> | |||
Chuck said he was looking forward to start work on <br> | |||
a TV <u>GAME</u> with me in a month or so. | |||
Mailed copies of <u>''AGOG''</u> to <u>Bob Johnson</u> (Hallmark), <br> | |||
<u>Mildred Mikkanen</u> (see 5/18), and <u>Larry Blandin</u> of <br> | |||
<u>INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW</u>. | |||
To <u>Arthur</u>'s. <u>Wald</u>, and later, <u>Claude</u> there. Wald spoke to <br> | |||
<u>Howard Wexler</u> today and the date was set for next <br> | |||
Thusday at 2:00, instead of Friday, so that a V.P. of <br> | |||
HASBRO could make it. <br> | |||
Played the Amberstone's <u>TOWN AND COUNTRY</u>. For board see <br> | |||
7/29/71. This board is for 2, 3, or 4 players. For 5 <br> | |||
add another town and and 3 country spaces. For 6 add 2 <br> | |||
more towns and 6 country spaces. <br> | |||
Each player starts in his town with a marker. High throw <br> | |||
of one die goes first. Before throwing the die for a turn <br> | |||
player announces odd or even and puts down an amount he <br> | |||
wants to bet. The payoff depends on the color of the <br> | |||
country space landed on. Yellow is 1x the bet, green 2x the <br> | |||
bet, and blue 3x the bet. The one whose turn it is pays <br> | |||
