We started a "feature" game using my suggestion that a
player could not put two starting locations on the same row
or column. Worked good, but we didn't go far in the game.
In keeping with the profession of the mini-games from
ancient on, the concensus [consensus] (Phil, Joel, Wally) is that the
feature game should be in the indefinite future, [illegible word crossed out]
but not space oriented. We agreed that the best names
for the pieces are alpha, beta, and gamma.
As one of the games they want to put out for the next
Spring is a collection of 6 games from various civiliza-
tions. Phil had some ideas from <u>Bell's</u> books including
<u>NINE MEN'S MORRIS</u> and <u>TABLUT</u> and <u>HASAMI SHOGI</u> and <u>SEEGA</u>.
I suggested <u>FANORONA</u> and one of the American Indian race
games.
They want me to write the rules booklet with some histori-
cal background. I'll sign it as an expert on games. I'll get royal-
ties about half the usual.
