To N.Y.G.A. meeting at <u>Earl Perel</u>'s sublet apt. Earl showed his new | |||
version of <u>ASTRO TRACK</u> (not <u>STAR TRACK</u>). There is a continuous | |||
path (about 48 long) in the center and the 12 signs of the | |||
zodiac in a circle outside. Next to each zodiac sign is one | |||
of the four elements: water, fire, earth, air. There are five "Poker | |||
Dice" and 1 die with 6 planetary symbols. Players in turn | |||
throw the dice. Depending on their <u>POKER</u> hand they can move | |||
their token along the <s>tab</s> path (see table, which | |||
is probably not quite correct). | |||
