THURSDAY 30 JUNE 1966 181st day - 184 days to come

Claude brought to the office a copy of GAME TRAIN by Gilbert as a present for me. He also had an old copy of FLINCH, prior to being taken over by Parker, and he gave it to me when I asked.

Bill Caruson sent the new rules for ACQUIRE for me comment. At a quick reading they looked got.

Rcd. the rules for MOONHUNT and RALLY-TALLY (TRAFFIC-JAM) from Felicia.

[diagram of 11 x 11 grid, green and red lines, some semi-circles numbered 1 through 6]

Developed a pencil and paper game GAME, preferably played on graph paper. Use 12 lines by 12 lines and play on the lines. Players in turn draw lines, each player using a different color. Lines, except for a later exception, can be a maximum of 5 long. The First line cannot be on an edge and the second line (1st by 2nd player) must cross the first, but not on either end. New lines are drawn, either straight or at a right angle, to a completely open end of that player's color. If a 5 long line would end on another line, so that the end was no longer open, the player may continue until the first open space if there is any. Players continue until both ends of their line is closed. One player may have a number of continuous moves after the other player is stopped. Each enclosure is looked at. The player with the most sides around the enclosure wins it. In the example shown green would win with 4 sides to 2 for red. If one side is split between colors, it counts half a point side for each. If both players have the same number of sides, neither player wins that enclosure. Player winning the most enclosures, regardless of their size, wins.
