he can sell to his customer(s). He cannot bid on items  <br>
while he is gone and, on average, will miss some 3  <br>
items. If another player wants to suggest a trade he must  <br>
leave the auction room at the same time and then trading  <br>
can be carried on.  <br>
When all of the items are auctioned off, players have a  <br>
free trading period and then finally sell their items  <br>
to their customers. (Fairly complete idea.)  <br>
Wexler didn't seem to see it, but Wald, Arthur and I were  <br>
very enthusiastic, and it rubbed off. Wexler had Claude dictate  <br>
the rules to a secretary so that he could take the game with him.
 
We (sans <u>Claude</u>) played a little of the <u>Amberstone</u>'s  <br>
<u>MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT</u>. Up to 6 can play, each having  <br>
an identical path, and object is to reach the "nomination".  <br>
On a turn can choose "The Blintz Trail" or "The Issues". If the  <br>
former, draw 3 cards and move forward the amounts they  <br>
give. If choose "The Issues" draw from one to three cards  <br>
from this deck. Then find out whether you are write [right?] or wrong  <br>
on "the Issues" by drawing a card from the "Decision  <br>
Deck". If right move ahead the sum of the forward  <br>
numbers on the cards. If wrong move back other lesser  <br>
(but still greater than "The Blintz Trail) numbers. A  <br>
