SATURDAY 14 MAY 1966 134th day - 231 days to come

Mounted the photostadt of the AIRLINE board on cardboard, and prepared cards for travel cards, and cut pads for pay money.

Rcd. a letter from [crossed out word illegible] Fr. Daniel.

Played RED LEtter RED LETTER at Weir meeting. Clara, Si, Lora, Mike, Helen, and Sid played. Annette, BB & I watched. All liked it except Sid, who still thought it was interesting. Gave 10 points for each bonus chip (for words over 5 letters). Helen finished her red letters first, but Lora, who got a lot of bonuses, beat her by 5 points. Decided, for the future, to change the 5 point letters to 2, similar to the other levels. Also will allow a player to pass thru a letter occupied by another player, but not to land on the same space. This will speed up the game by not having a player's planned move blocked. To stop a player from concentrating on bonuses and completely ignoring red letters, I will limit the number of bonuses a player can score at the end of the game to 3 X the number of red letters he has covered. He may get as many as he can, but only can score this amount. As an optional rule for advanced players I will include masks that are given out, 4 to each player. These can be used at any time a player wishes, more than 1 at a time if regart desired, but once used are oth out of the game.
