Peter called me and | Peter called me and explained a little about the game. Some | ||
friends of his have a company for developing learning games. This | |||
game is played on 3 boards (not with a computer). The | |||
first is quadrille and has 5 power bases. Each of these has a | |||
president and a historian. They expand according to strategic | |||
rules but must do so in accordance with a card given to them | |||
directing that they be tricky or ruthless, etc. A number of | |||
judges determine how well they conform. The second board, which | |||
is used later, is also quadrille, but is more abstract. | |||
The third board is undifferentiated.<br> | |||
They will be playing it again so if I can't make it on | |||
10/14 they will invite me to a later playing. Told Peter I'd | |||
call him Tuesday to let him know if I'll be there.<br> | |||
