SATURDAY 14 MARCH 1964 74th day - 292 days to come

Claude showed me his game of SUDDEN DEATH. It is played on a 4 x 4 quadrille. The spaces are each marked with a color (6 different I think). Each player has a token. The first player places his token in any space, the 2nd in any space except one of the same color as the first. After that move 1 space orthagonally. Object:- to move into the same space as opponent or one of the [crossed out] same color. Also showed me BOTTLE. Played on 4 x 3 quadrille, each space being numbered from 1 to 4. Each player has three tokens. These are placed on the board alternately. Then in turn move a piece t players move one of their pieces the number of space it is resting in. Moves are othognal but they may zig-zag. A piece cannot pass thru or end on a space occuppied by another piece, friendy or enemy. Object to "bottle" the opponent so that he cannot move. Played 4 handed SPECTRUM. Anne had trouble understanding it, but it was late and the kids were still up, which distracted her.
