MONDAY 11 MAY 1964 132nd day - 234 days to come

Called Alice & told her to hold up SPECTRUM till I rewrite the rules.

At Klein's saw: - THE WEIRDOS - a Parchisi type game using a monster motif.

OUTER LIMITS (MB) There is a board which has 4 sections as follows:- [drawing of board with "screen space" in center]

There is a deck of 8 screen cards, 32 monster cards, and 2 wild cards. These are dealt out equally to the players (probably from 2 to 4). Players in turn play cards to the board. If they have a screen card and there is an empty screen, the card must be played. The 32 monster cards make up 8 distinct mon- sters. A player, whether he plays a screen card or not, may play one monster card to each aer area under a screen card, if he is able. The first monster pc. in an area can be any monster. After that they must belong to that monster. When a monster is completed the 4 monster cards & the screen card are eliminated from the game opening those spaces for the new cards. When a player plays all his cards he wins. Wild cards are thrown off when the others are completed. They only serve to camoflague the num- ber of cards left in player's hands.

Called Alice & told her to hold up SPECTRUM till I
rewrite the rules.
At Klein's saw: - THE WEIRDOS - a Parchisi type
game using a monster motif.
OUTER LIMITS (MB) There is a board which has 4 sections
as follows:-
[drawing of board with "screen space" in center]
There is a deck of 8 screen cards, 32 monster
cards, and 2 wild cards. These are dealt out
equally to the players (probably from 2 to 4). Players
in turn play cards to the board. If they have
a screen card and there is an empty screen, the
card must be played.
The 32 monster cards make up 8 distinct mon-
sters. A player, whether he plays a screen
card or not, may play one monster card to each
aer area under a screen card, if he is able. The
first monster pc. in an area can be any monster.
After that they must belong to that monster.
When a monster is completed the 4 monster cards &
the screen card are eliminated from the game
opening those spaces for the new cards.
When a player plays all his cards he wins.
Wild cards are thrown off when the others are
completed. They only serve to camoflague the num-
ber of cards left in player's hands.
