At a bazaar near Edith's bought 10 sheets of white "Bainbridge
Board" at 50¢ each. At a number of garage sales bought 3
strings of beads for 25¢, 25¢, and 50¢.
On way to garage sales stopped at the <u>Laurence</u>s to see if Annette
wanted to join us. She would have liked to, but had other plans.
Phil gave me a clipping concerning a "Computer Simulation and
Games for Educating Structural Engineers." (Filed in '75 Misc.)
<br>Call from <u>Dave Greenwald</u>. He'd like to come to see my collection.
Invited him, and Eric, to come here on 9/30, abt. 8 P.M.—
telling him that it was BB's Mah Jong night.
Heines House is interested in doing his <u>TREFFLES</u> deck. I told
him the little I knew about them.
<br>Played <u>KINGDOMS</u> with <u>Dave Horn</u>. I immediately made a rule
that a player could not simply reverse the move made by the
other player. After a little playing we decided that a player
had to use at least one of his own pcs. in every move.
Even so the game didn't seem to come to an end without one
player overlooking something.
Played 4-hand and kept the two previous rules, extending
the 1st one to include all the other three players - not nec-
essarily the one playing immediately after. With everyone
looking for ways to stop a win the game went on and on,
but it became necessary for a player to completely ruin his
own game by moving his king away from all his pcs.
Later thought of a rule that a king couldn't be moved so as to
isolate it from its pcs.
