Friday 11 September 1964
255th day - 111 days to come
NYGA meeting at the Amberstones'. Claude & me there.
Watched Amberstones play a game of LINES. The rule of 8/27/64
was clarified. A line to be safe must extend from one border to an opposite border.
Played POWUR. Discussed various rules for starting.
Played CHICKEN CHOW MEIN (Claudes'). Use a regular deck of
cards and deal them out to players one at a time
until all gone. Players in turn play one card face down
in front of them, saying "Chicken". When they think
that among the cards they have face down, including the
one played at that turn, they can match at least two
cards in each of the opponent's face down cards, they
say "Chow Mein" which stops the play.
Cards are turned up and checked to see if there are
two matches with each opponent. If so the players takes
in all cards. If he misses even one opponent he loses and
must give a number of cards equal to those he has
played to each opponent. (My suggestion - give them
only to players he does not match.)
Complete rules as to finishing the game have not
been worked out yet.
At a store saw BURKE'S LAW (Transogram). Another
detective game. Wasn't able to see the rules.
