Played 5-hand <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>, including Raymond. Started using | |||
a set of cards allowing trading, etc. - a player drawing | |||
one at the end of each turn. (Drew them up in a hurry | |||
this aft.) Didn't work at all and dropped it. Used a new | |||
idea for a red 6 which was good. Didn't use the special end | |||
portion rule (see 1/26) since the Soucies are great at bargaining. <br> | |||
