Heines House is interested in doing his <u>TREFFLES</u> deck. I told
him the little I knew about them.
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.
