THURSDAY 27 MAY Ascension Day 1965 147th day - 218 days to come

In a book about B.& N. saw a game SALVO. Same as BATTLESHIPS except that each ship in turn fires and the shots from the ship must be in a straight line diagonally and or orthagonally. Ships are 4, 3, or 2 long & fire that number of shots. Lose 1 shot for each damaged space.

At Claude's had N.Y.G.A meeting, with Wald & Arthur, Helen & Bob. Claude also in- vited a man who had seen the Journal-American article, John. John was more a toy inventor than games. He was interested in an organi- zation to protect inventors, rather than in exchanging game ideas.

Wald and Arthur showed their new version of LINES. The board is enlarged (see at left). Play has been simplified. All lines must start at an edge. There is no "bridging". A line may not pass a straight angle, whether own or opponent's color.

[DIAGRAM AT LEFT: dots and some drawn lines between them, vertical and diagonal. Bottom text label reads "Red can not play here," "(GREEN)," "(RED)," "These pieces cannot be played in.", and "Red can play here."]

Prohibition of small triangles remains. Also a small diamond scores for neither. A player cannot start at an edge if both points have enemy pcs. and the player does not have a pc. at either. Score When an enclosure is made player with most pcs. on periphery scores 1 pt. for each pc. of his color. They did the counting at the end, starting with red. Red plays first. In order to win, red must be 4 points ahead. Green wins if 1 point ahead. In between is a tie.

Claude showed SEARCH and many games were played by us and the kids. Board is as shown. Each player has an identical board and two tokens, one to represent himself and another, of dif- ferent color, to a place where he thinks, or knows, opponent is located.

Ascension Day 1965 147th day - 218 days to come


In a book about B.& N. saw a game SALVO. Same as BATTLESHIPS
except that each ship in turn fires and the shots from
the ship must be in a straight line diagonally and or orthagonally.
Ships are 4, 3, or 2 long & fire that number of shots. Lose
1 shot for each damaged space.
At Claude's had N.Y.G.A
meeting, with Wald & Arthur,
Helen & Bob. Claude also in-
vited a man who had seen
the Journal-American article,
John. John was more a toy
inventor than games. He
was interested in an organi-
zation to protect inventors,
rather than in exchanging
game ideas.
Wald and Arthur showed
their new version of LINES.
The board is enlarged
(see at left). Play has been
simplified. All lines must
start at an edge. There is
no "bridging". A line
may not pass a
straight angle, whether
own or opponent's
color.
[DIAGRAM AT LEFT: dots and some drawn lines between them, vertical and diagonal. Bottom text label reads "Red can not play here," "(GREEN)," "(RED)," "These pieces cannot be played in.", and "Red can play here."]
Prohibition of small
triangles remains. Also a small
diamond scores for neither.
A player cannot start at an edge if both points have
enemy pcs. and the player does not have a pc. at either.
Score When an enclosure is made player with most pcs. on
periphery scores 1 pt. for each pc. of his color. They did the
counting at the end, starting with red.
Red plays first. In order to win, red must be 4 points
ahead. Green wins if 1 point ahead. In between is a tie.
Claude showed SEARCH and many games were played
by us and the kids. Board is as shown. Each player has an
identical board and two tokens, one to
represent himself and another, of dif-
ferent color, to a place where he thinks,
or knows, opponent is located.

both boards to report a win.
