WEDNESDAY 18 MAY Rogation Day 1966 138th day - 227 days to come

Thinking of ideas for speeding up SPECTRUM. Each player given chips at the beginning of the game, 3 times the number of pcs. set up by each player. Only one move is made at a time. A color intercept is free, a color match costs one chip. When one player has all his pcs. on the field, the other players give up 2 chips for each remaining pc. Most chips wins. Try that a player can move any base he wishes (instead of in a definite order) but once a base is moved the rest of the tower must be moved before another base is moved.

Rogation Day 1966 138th day - 227 days to come


Thinking of ideas for speeding up SPECTRUM. Each player
given chips at the beginning of the game, 3 times
the number of pcs. set up by each player. Only one
move is made at a time. A color intercept is free,
a color match costs one chip. When one player has
all his pcs. on the field, the other players give up
2 chips for each remaining pc. Most chips wins.
Try that a player can move any base he wishes
(instead of in a definite order) but once a base is
moved the rest of the tower must be moved before
another base is moved.
Alice called. Went to the stationery show. Not much of interest
but I'll go for awhile tomorrow.
The 3M salesman said they may discontinue OH-WAHREE
and PHLOUNDER.
