in a continuous path.
in a continuous path. (I pointed out that now there was no <br>
necessity to stick with 24.) The player will either throw 2 dice and<br>
move forward the sum or throw 1 die and move back that die. (I<br>
suggested giving a choice of moving the sum forward or move either<br>
die backward - or at least Claude thought that I suggested that. I<br>
think that I suggested forward with the sum or backward with<br>
the difference.) We both wondered if this change would allow for<br>
bargaining for a player's turn to move.<br>
Claude said that he'd like to work on <u>MANIPULATION</u> but feels that<br>
he has to work on <u>DIABOLIQUE</u>. I told him about Kohler's complete<br>
lack of interest which, in connection with Hallmark's switch,<br>
makes puzzles pretty much a dead issue for now. Also that Hallmark<br>
is interested in a "fun financial game." Claude will try to make<br>
<u>MANIPULATION</u> fill that bill.<br>
I told Claude that I was going to present <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>.<br>
He said he had some ideas for making it more fun. He doesn't<br>
remember the details and would like to get together sometime and play.<br>
Gave Claude the copy of ''<u>S & T</u>'' #41 that I took today.<br>
 
Rcd. an X'Mas card and a note from <u>Jim Scully</u>. No success so far with<br>
games [illegible crossed out] altho one is still under consideration.<br>
<u>FRACTION BROTHERS' CIRCUS</u>, <u>TACTICS II</u> (an updated version),<br>
