Sent card to <u>Mary Hilt</u>. Mentioned <u>ODD OR EVEN</u>, <u>Richard Moon</u> & <u>S&T</u>.
Call from <u>Bob Abbott</u>. <u>Graeme Levin</u> has placed Bob's game of
<u>EPAMINONDAS</u> with Philmar <s>(spelling?)</s> on a 50-50 basis.
<br>Graeme has also found a publisher who wants to do
<u>ABBOTT'S NEW CARD GAMES</u>, but Stein and Day want it to be
handled thru them.
<br>Bob is working on changes in <u>ELEUSIS</u>. Each player can play
I believe that wrong ones are left in place, similar to <u>DELPHI</u>.
A player making a mistake takes a penalty of extra cards. I
pointed out that this still won't remedy the problem of a player
who knows, or thinks he knows, the rule but doesn't have the
cards that fit.
<br>Bob would like to come up with something original in games
but at present is only working on refining the games in
his book, including <u>BABEL</u> - with the thought of a revised
edition.
<br>He played <u>SIGMA FILE</u> with a Mensa group and they like it.
He found that often there was no incentive to do anything.
