(cont. from 7/11) [7/11]
a player's turn he draws another card to bring his hand back to 6.  <br>
When deck is exhausted it is reshuffled and turned over.  <br>
A player can play a "PREVENT" card instead of moving  <br>
card and can specify which piece, not including PAWNS, cannot  <br>
be moved. (I suggested a card as shown to indicate which  <br>
piece is prevented.) No piece of either side of that  <br>
type can be moved until either player plays a "release" card. A "RELEASE" card cannot be played immediately after the play of the "PREVENT" card, altho a  <br>
"RELEASE" card can be played to a previously played "PREVENT" card.  <br>
The game is over when the "King" is actually captured.

<u>Henry Pelham & Burt</u> and I played a game, which he won. Then Gary  <br>
and I played, and I won. Told Gary that I liked it a lot. Thought  <br>
it would be most commercially practical as a set of cards and a  <br>
"prevent" layout card, possibly with the card distribution on it,  <br>
and letting people use their own board and pieces.  <br>
I'll talk to Felicia about it next Wednesday and Gary will call me  <br>
Thursday. Took his address and telephone numbers.  <br>

<u>Earl Perel</u> called during the evening. Told him about Arthurt. He said  <br>
that he might come with me when I visit Wald during Shiva. I'll  <br>
call him in a few days.
