SATURDAY 26 MARCH
Kuhio Day (Hawaii) 1966 85th day - 280 days to come
Working on CINEMA for small numbers of players. Decided to
remove the following pictures when playing with 4 players:-
15, 17, 20, 22, 23. This removes 40 cards. Also remove
two "Ad" cards and 3 "Critic" cards leaving a total of 76
cards. Each player gets 19 cards.
With 5 players remove pictures 20, 22, 23 and 2 "Ad"
cards and 1 "Critic" card leaving 95 cards. Each player gets
19 cards.
Played this way with Phil, Annette & BB. Worked fast but O.K.
Also with them played a rummy type. Used the whole deck.
Each player given $20 cards million and dealt 10 cards. The property
cards are separated first. 4 of these are placed face up in
the center of the table. These are available to the first to complete
it. On a turn draw the top card from the deck. Then discard any
card. If another player wants this card he must pay $2 million, unless
more than one wants it in which case there is bidding. This card is
picked up, with no discard, and the sequence of moves is not affected.
When a player can cast a picture, on his turn he can pick up
the property card and make the picture. He is paid in cash according
to the table of 3/19. The property card and cast are
discarded from the game. The player rebuilds his hand to 10
cards from the pack, paying $1 million for each card taken.
Another No discard is made. A new property card is turned.
When a player, at his turn, cannot take a card because the
pack cards are exhausted (As long as there are any they are
turned over without shuffling), he a new phase starts. This
player must now put up two four cards for auction to the
highest bidder. And so on around, except when a player makes
a picture, in which case he does not have to put cards for auction.
If no one bids, the player takes his card back. If a player
has four or less cards left, he auctions these and is out of the
game. Played pretty well.
