N.Y.G.A. meeting @ Arthur's. Just Claude & me there.

Showed them DISPERSAL. Claude liked it but Arthur
said it didn't develope.

Claude showed a GAME IDEA based on the idea of
the 8 queens puzzle. Each player in turn places
a chip of his color in a space. In succeeding turns
a player may not place his chip in line, orthogonally
or diagonally, with a pc. of his own. Cont No Only
one pc. can be in any space. Continue until no player
can place a pc. Score for number placed. Play a
second round using different colors but leaving
the chips from first round in place.
The game was very limited in interest.

Arthur showed THREE on a smaller board and he
and Claude played a game. Rules are the same
as previously (see 1/17/64). The board used is as follows : -

[DIAGRAM OF 23 CIRCLES CONNECTED VERTICALLY AND DIAGONALLY BY LINES. 9 ROWS AND 5 COLUMNS. THE OUTER COLUMNS AND THE CENTER COLUMN ARE 5 CIRCLES HIGH. THE OTHER TWO COLUMNS ARE 4 CIRCLES HIGH.]

Arthur said he'd get me colored paper for paper money
from the paper company where he works.

Claude returned GAME THEORY AND RELATED APPROACHES
TO SOCIAL BEHAVIOR, by Martin Shubik.

Players pick starting spaces and

holding them. There are many possibilities; the
