another player is on the same 2 torts he can be sued in both sim-

can be used interchangably [interchangeably]. After a suit if a player has used
more than 4 cards he can either replace enough card to
get to 12 (instead of the former 14) or can throw in the rest
of his hand and take a new 12 cards. Also, some (or possibly
all) of the corner spaces allow a player to draw 3 cards and
discard any three he wishes. There are now 5 instead of
6 torts and one has more cards and more - and higher value-
positions on the board. One has less cards and positions
on the board and the other 3 are roughly equal, in between.
 
Felicia agreed to handle the game again, but we both urged
him to make a good model and to write the rules carefully.
 
After Gary left, Felicia told me that she had been after Amer-
ican Greetings. Then the mailman brought a package from them.
It contained the rules for <u>GIRL TALK</u>, <u>QUICKSAND</u>, <u>THE MONEY GAME</u>,
<u>LOG JAM</u>, <u>TRIAD</u>, <u>ASK IT</u>, <u>LOTTERY</u>, <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH IN DOLLARS</u>
(They called it "How Much is that in Dollars?"), <u>BALLS AND CHAINS</u>,
and <u>WILD WOOD PILE</u>. The letter read:-
"We do not feel any of the ideas fit into our plans at this time
but will appreciate it if you will keep us on your list of poten-
tial customers. MacGuire and I will make it a point to stop
and see you whenever we are in New York."
 
Felicia showed me a letter from <u>ALFRED ROSENFELD</u> on <u>SIJJEH</u>,
