Played <u>DARN CLEVER</u> with BB, allowing one line by each
of us: Played three times and it worked very well, I'll
have to send it as a variation to <u>Mr. Rodimach</u>. If they
accept the game and use this variation I'll give
<u>Phil Laurence</u> a percentage.
<br>In connection with <u>MASTERMIND</u>, I checked to see how close it was
to <u>JOTTO</u>. <u>JOTTO</u> doesn't differentiate between a "hit" in the
same position and one in a different position. However, in the
'69 [1969] diary came across <u>NODDLE</u> which has exactly the same rules,
using digits instead of colors.

said that I owe my family more than I owe Felicia. Then he said that
he should lecture me when he learns how to handle <u>Wald</u> and <u>Wexler</u>.
Made date for next Friday.

continue until one of the options is actually used. Also as
part of his turn a player can use a number card to see
if it is the correct number - the first number of the
combination is first found in this way, then the second
and finally the third. After all three numbers are
discovered when a player collects 3 corresponding number
cards <s>and c</s> he claims the inheritance. He must reach
his space by moving around the board (the lawyer and
servant can reach it by a backward move that lands them
in their space - since they only have 3 and 2 spaces).
<br>There wasn't any incentive to try a combination number
so Wald gave another card taken from the board for
using one and 2 for the first card a player gets in
a search for a number. After the first number is found
all cards used by the players are returned to the board,
etc.
<br>I found the game messy and uncomfortable and didn't
make use of the safe gimmick sufficiently. I suggested that
if a player gets one number correct he can continue with
the next and then if correct again with the 3rd. Wald thought
this was great.
<br>(This is not a complete description of the game - but enough
to give a good idea. It needs a lot more work.)
<br><u>Claude</u> gave me a copy of <u>FEDS 'N HEADS</u> (from Playboy Mag. [magazine]
I believe). This is a duplicate for me.
