<br>Thinking of a solitaire financial <u>GAME</u>. There are 6 com-
panies numbered from 1 to 6. 2 dice (or cards numbered
from 1 to 6) are used. The dice are thrown and the player
moves one company 1 unit up in value, the other one
unit down. The next dice throw allows buying one share of
one of the companies and selling one share of the other - one
transaction must be made. Alternative throws. (rough idea
to be worked out.)
<br>Thinking about a solitaire <u>PINBALL</u> game. A grid of
points have certain areas marked with a point value.
2 dice are thrown and the player can choose the direction he wishes
to move. The movement can be up to the maximum
number of dots in that direction. With a 7 the
player may use either of the numbers or the total. A
path is formed with colored pencils, each path
a different color - or possibly a color can be re-
peated but must stay completely clear of a-
nother path of the same color.
