Rcd. two sets of the <u>SMUGGLING</u> rules from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>.
<br>Play around with <s><u>SPECULATION</u></s> <u>INVESTMENT</u>, drew up a diagram, and had
eight copies made on Boston Post Road. Went thru a game myself.
The starting level for 4 stocks is set by using three cards each
(giving new cards if there is a duplication). The third card gives
the starting trend — odd-down, even-up. Get one share of each
free. Change market price of each stock in order - draw two
cards and move difference of two. Move in trend direction, unless
a 7 is drawn which gives a sudden reversal. A double stays at
same level and reverses when it changes. After these 8 cards are
drawn, draw 1 card at a time. Must buy or sell a share of
the number drawn, unless impossible in which case "turn" ends —
(should there be a penalty?) can stop drawing even if cards
still remain, even before drawing any, a 5 or 6 is wild and
can be called any number from 1 to 4. If a stock would go
off in either direction, it instead reverses direction. If it
hits 0 all shares in that co. [company] are lost. If it hits 25 sell all
with a bonus (How much?). At end of market value table sell re-
maining shares for final price.
<br>BB tried part of a game, had lousy luck, and didn't like
it.
<br>When getting the repros I looked at John's, saw <u>HOLIDAY</u> for
$3.99. Bought <u>SUPERGROUP</u> for $1.99.
<br>Cut up one repro of <u>O. HENRY</u> and used it in helping me rear-
range the letters. Started making a new diagram, allowing
space for scoring.
<br>Ch. 2 news had a piece on <u>PETROPOLIS</u>.
