19 FRIDAY - JULY 1974 200TH DAY - 165 DAYS TO COME

Read over the rules of INFINITY and started thinking of ideas for streamlining the play. Mainly I want to eliminate the play in rounds. Instead give players "time pieces' for what they accomplish on a turn - such as 1 "time pc." for having only 1 per tile left on a rack, or 2 "time pcs." for having none.

Rcd. another letter from Haar Hoolim. Enclosed repros of still another version of the STACK UP rules. Mentioned COLORAMA by Ravenburger, and JOINING.

I believe) one number for each jump. When each player has reached the 5 black circles opposite his start, the player with the highest total on his five pcs. is the winner.

CLOG:- The overlay shows a large mark in the center and smaller ones in the spaces orthogonally next and still smaller ones in the next orthogonal spaces. Players turn the faces up from 1 to 5. Player One player chooses two pcs. to move by holding out fingers on each hand, under the table. Others also hold fingers to try and guess the pcs. chosen by first player.

However player with two in the pile blocks all others in the pile, even with a throw of 2. Even if the player with two in pile doesn't have them together, the lower one is free to move. Also no enemy pc. can land on a pile with two of an opponent. First to get all 4 pcs. in wins.

He also supplies a blank overlay and suggested the people draw on it to make up their own game.

LONG DISTANCE:- Each player has ten rods similar to the one [drawing of rod] shown, with each [illegible strikeout] number - from 2 to 9 - occurring 5 times. Another player - who doesn't have to have a set of rods - sets up a phrase with 10 letters - not including Q or Z. He then translates the phrase into a telephone number. The other players then set their rods with that number along the top. Then they slide them trying to find
