FRIDAY 8 JULY
1966 189th day - 176 days to come
Arthur & Claude over for NYGA meeting. Showed them
a variation of my GAME idea of 6/30. One player
draws a returned configuration of 12 lines, then the
2nd player in another color draws 12 lines in a returned
configuration, and 12 6 of them must each cross at
least one line of the 1st player's configuration.
Boxes won as in previous game. Best way is for each
player to put a configuration on a sheet and then
trade sheets. High total score wins.
[diagram:

drawing: boxes overlapping, drawn in blue and red, parts labeled with Bs, Rs, and Xs]
The first player should
spread his configuration
out to allow plenty of
room for second.
Claude & Arthur thought
it interesting.
Paul came later. Dana joined us to play several games
of 5-hand L.O.A. Worked very well. Even the problem
of stopping a player who'se win is imminent worked itself out
by in general leaving it up to the last possible one to
stop him. Claude left the rules for me to look at, and to
suggest corrections.
Played 4-hand HIGH SPIRITS with Paul, Claude & Arthur.
Only Claude liked it. BB watched and came to the con-
clusion that the names - Greenies, etc. were a detri-
ment. Trying to think of other names by myself later
but without success.
Claude brought me a copy of THE PERILS OF PAULINE - for
$1.25.
