games on the faces. To be thrown in turn - and player can  <br>
decide the game everyone plays. At each turn players can buy  <br>
1 (for $5), 2 (for $15), or 3 (for $25) cards. Money goes into the  <br>
pool. Also when <u>POKER</u> is played 10% of the pot goes into the pool.  <br>
Made triangular cardboard stands to indicate the owner and  <br>
amounts of the various "Banks". Made most of a <u>CHUCK-A-LUCK</u>  <br>
layout but had to quit at 2 a.m. Incidentally, a player  <br>
who breaks a "bank", wins the chips in the pool. (Rough idea  <br>
of the play of the game.)
 
<u>Felicia</u> called. BB will go to pick up the contracts tomorrow.  <br>
Felicia also wants her to pick up the rules for <u>SIJJEH</u> so that  <br>
<s>she</s> I can look at it and give her an opinion.
 
Rcd. a letter from <u>Mike Abrams</u> on <u>BLOCK 'N SCORE</u>.  <br>
 
<u>Arthur</u> called. <u>Wexler</u> wanted my name and address to include  <br>
on a contract.

record is kept as to each player's results on all issues  <br>
he has come up against. Each issue is represented twice  <br>
in the deck. If a player draws the 2nd one, his previous  <br>
decision stands; except that there is a way for a player  <br>
to but a second chance from a wrong decision (don't remember  <br>
details). About 2/3 along the track, 3 spaces are a  <br>
"Crisis" (don't remember what happens when you land) and  <br>
after that point is passed a player must use "The  <br>
Issues". A player may be forced out of the race if sent  <br>
back passed the beginning. (Fairly complete idea.)  <br>
I didn't care much for the game. Wexler didn't comment  <br>
one way or the other.  <br>
I described my <u>GAME OF NATIONS</u> and Wexler would like to see  <br>
it. He'll call it <u>WAR AND PEACE</u>.  <br>
It looks almost definite that Wexler will be including  <br>
<u>BALANCE OF POWER</u> (<u>COUNTERBALANCE</u>) in the line. He is not  <br>
crazy about the play of the game, but likes its look.  <br>
He, <u>Wexler</u>, is going on a two-week vacation. Our next meeting  <br>
will be on the week of 8/28.
