Thinking of some ideas for <u>DOMINOES</u> variations. <u>GAME</u>S.
<br>1) Dominos are layed [sic] out like a board. Pcs. move from square
to square. To move to a square with the same number or lower
there is no expenditure for each number difference. Pieces
have a given - say 10 - number of units available each turn.
A war game can be played on a 7 and 8 layout <s>wh</s> with armies
being located at opposite ends. Another layout would be a
5x11 with one square sticking out from the center of one side.
Object would be to occuppy [sic] this square and hold it for one turn,
as a race game a continuous track could be layed out.
<br>2) Play with matching, but instead of a line a match can be
made anywhere and if both ends of the domino match the
player plays again.
<br>Call from <u>Felicia</u>. A storekeeper who used to order <u>BALI</u> from
her wrote to ask where he could get <u>KRYPTO</u>. Told her that
the company was out of business but that G&R, who
had handled it, might be able to tell her.
She was so desparate [sic] for money that she called <u>Michaelson</u>
to see if he tell her how much would be coming from 3M for
the 3rd quarter. Estimating Sept. he told her that she
would get $375 for her 15%. If this is true, the total
amount <s>with</s> will be less than 50% of last year's.
