lowable and what is not. One convention - the 1st "place" card must represent the player's nationality, subsequent ones can be other places he was connected with. Henry had a system of challenges, but this needs working out. Also handling of letter cards that are turned up for facing cards on the board.

Alice gave me rules for the game of BATTLE LINE to look at. She also showed me a game called HATRACK GAME. It had cute equipment but no game to go with it. Alice asked if I'd think of some ideas using it. The equipment consists of 24 cards with pictures of different children with a slit at the top of their head into which 24 hat disks can be inserted, each corresponding to a specific card. There are 4 hatrack cards which have 5 spaces of for hat discs, each of a different color. There is also a center card with 5 spaces of different colors.

Had an idea for a game called GERRYMANDER. Use an 8x8 grid. There is a set of cards (about 64) with 12 marked spaces in different patterns. Players use these cards for putting their markers in the corresponding spaces on the board. Could win a space, when get 5 ahead (or less with more than 2 players) of the opponent. Or player with most in a space at end wins it.

Another germ of a game i GAME IDEA. Played with cards which are layed out in a square square (size to be determined). Four play and each can only take cards exposed on the side he is facing.
