<br>Later he found cards in my card file (how did he happen to look in there?) for
<u>TRADE</u> (C.S.) and my variation <u>TRADE-WITH KILLINGS</u> (my variation). He said that
the idea he is working on has a lot of similarities - except that there is a
gadget that sets the price of the objects. We later got repros [reproductions] of the two cards so
that he could steer clear of the ideas.
<br><u>Artic Albert</u> (who is a V,P. but still works under Jules, who is a senior V.P.)
is now the one who looks at all games from outside. Also he would like an
<u>EARTHQUAKE</u> game. There should be uncertainty about when it will happen
and what the effect will be. Jules is not crazy about the idea. Also in order
to be considered for '79 [1979] it will have to be ready by the end of April.
<br>Jules is crazy about a dice game, <u>STRUGGLE</u>, which has a big screw-u factor.
There are 2 dice - one with 1-3-5 in black and 2-4-6 in red, the other
visa-versa. There is a track with about 60 spaces, and up to 5 can play.
Each time a player throws the dice, he announces what he is trying for:
"Advance" - if both dice come out some color, move forward the total; if not stay.
"Advance Red" or "Advance Black" - more forward for any of that color showing.
"Set Back," "Set Back Red," or "Set Back Black" - similar, but move back an opponent.
"Split" - If difference color, move forward with one and opponent back with other.
"Double Split" - If any double, move self forward 15 and opponent back 15.
Object to reach end first. There is a "barrier" about 10 spaces from end
and once a player passes this he can't be sent back passed it again.
Phil thinks it is good for 2 or 3 plays, but then you hate it.
<br>He noticed <u>TAM-BIT</u> on the shelf. He thinks it will make a good two
hand game with dice and he hope that Jules will prefer it to
<u>STRUGGLE</u> (which, I believe, he said was done by the Two Game Girls).
Told me to make up a wood board with plastic cylenders [cylinders] for the
pcs. [pieces] Should be ready by the 3rd week in April. I come up with the
name <u>WIN IT YOUR WAY</u> and he liked it. In connection with 2 -
