in a continuous path. (I pointed out that now there was no
necessity to stick with 24.) The player will either throw 2 dice and
move forward the sum or throw 1 die and move back that die. (I
suggested giving a choice of moving the sum forward or move either
die backward - or at least Claude thought that I suggested that. I
think that I suggested forward with the sum or backward with
the difference.) We both wondered if this change would allow for
bargaining for a player's turn to move.<br>
Claude said that he'd like to work on <u>MANIPULATION</u> but feels that
he has to work on <u>DIABOLIQUE</u>. I told him about Kohler's complete
lack of interest which, in connection with Hallmark's switch,
makes puzzles pretty much a dead issue for now. Also that Hallmark
is interested in a "fun financial game." Claude will try to make
<u>MANIPULATION</u> fill that bill.<br>
I told Claude that I was going to present <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>.
He said he had some ideas for making it more fun. He doesn't
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.
