JUNE 1975 - SATURDAY 14
AMERICAN FLAG ADOPTED 1777 - 165TH DAY - 200 DAYS TO COME

Went over the letter to "Pelikan" and BB typed it. Mentioned AGENT, HEISSE KARTEN, MOULIN ROUGE, TRAMP, Eugen Oker, Eugen Oker's Spielwiese EUGEN OKER'S SPIELWIESE, SLEUTH, DARN CLEVER, FOREIGN INTRIGUE, AGOG, DOMINO BEAD GAME, FOCUS, PROPERTY, CINEMA, PROFIT AND LOSS, FREE FOR ALL. Sent it Attention: Mr. Rodimach (Rademacher).

Called Claude, mainly to wish him a happy birthday. Not it and left message with Raymond.

Made four tiles with "X" as a fifth symbol for DARN CLEVER. At the Saperstien's BB and I watched Harold and Phylis play (not using the X's). At first Phylis said it was too easy, but then said it was very good.

I checked with Hal and the last S&T he has is #47.

Played 4-hand FREE FOR ALL. Each player had one color and the other two were removed. Played to a run of 4 and Dave Hal good got it in four turns. The 4th one was with an isolated piece which jumper over another to capture. Later decided to prohibit an isolated pc. (free agent) from jumping another pc.

BB said she didn't like it at all and I started thinking of new ideas. One idea I did think of using that didn't seem to do much good. In a game with 3 or more players - each for himself - when a player wins he collects one chip from the player to his left, two chips from the next, etc.

Looked at a copy of FINANCE they had. It was an ownership of property game, but without "Monopolies." The feaut feature the rules point out as "different from any other game" is the "surprise move" - landing on one pace makes you move across the board (rough idea).
