I gave him <u>''G & P''</u> #6, 7, and 8 and three copies of <u>''AGOG''</u>.


Played a new version of <u>MANIPULATION</u>.
Played a new version of <u>MANIPULATION</u>. He had a completely
new set of values- "Inside Information Chart" - and he
gave me one. (He will probably change the $1,300 listings
to $1,500, getting rid of the $100 bills.)
 
Each player is given 1 share of each stock and $10,000
at the start. The bank has $200,000 from which the
initial money is given to each player. When that money
is gone the bank gets a reserve from which the bank's obli-
gations are met. There are now 4 more rounds (Phase II thru [through]
Phase V) and cards list changes for each - such as
compulsory auctioning of the right to "manipulate" goes out
at one point and at another point a player can start
choosing between 1 or 2 dice when "manipulating."
[illegible word crossed out] The rule for buying stock in a turn was as follows: a player
could first buy <s>any stock he wished</s> one share of stock -
in <s>any company</s> a company of his choice. Then he could
buy as many shares of a stock as he already had in any or
all companies. This seemed to be confusing and Claude was
thinking of simply limiting a purchase to any 4 shares, I
suggested instead allowing matching the stocks already held
but always allowing 1 to be purchased in any stock.
 
The game played well. (I won).
 
Played <u>JUNGLE RACE</u>. The back arrows were constantly being used
and the game was slow. Decided to ignore the arrows
(and later removed them) and that was better, but still slow.
BB said she had trouble following the paths - which I had
marked in with 16" wide mystic tape.
