SATURDAY 19 MARCH St. Joseph 1966 78th day - 287 days to come

Rcd. a letter from Alice with a $50 check for Feb. payment as consultant for Hallmark.

Finished writing the rules for DATA PROCESSING

Tested 2-handed SKILL CARRÉ with BB and with Dale. Worked well and I later found that it was at least as good with the necessity to go for each size square eliminated.

Claude and Anne over in evening. Tried two variations of CINEMA and neither worked very well. Used the following table for all pictures:-

[diagram: (five stars) 25,000,000; 26,000,000 (four stars) 20,000,000; 23,000,000 (three stars) 15,000,000; 20,000,000 (two stars) 10,000,000; 17,000,000 (one star) 5,000,000; 14,000,000]

Each player given 40,000,000 to start. The property cards are separated. For $3,000,000 each player can buy a property and 8 other cards. If want a 2nd property before finishing first can buy it and 8 other cards for $15M. A third costs $20M. If finish a picture be- fore starting get new ones at the lower rate. Didn't finish it, but too often the right cards didn't come out.

The second version was played similar to rummy. Each player dealt one property card and 12 others. Draw and discard, but the discards are kept in front of the player. At a player's turn he may, instead of drawing, buy another player's discard. Pay off on the above table. Didn't finish it since it dragged.
