WEDNESDAY 27 JULY 1966 208th day - 157 days to come

To Brentano's. Looked at INTRIGUE again. The board looks as follows:-

[diagram of board game, squares along perimeter. Clockwise at top left, labels of corners read "COLLECT $13,000," "COLLECT $20,000," "START," "LOSE A TURN." Center of board reads: "U.S." "INCOME TAX $10,000," "U.S.S.R."]

(see 7/18)

There are 30 country spaces, 7 "world issue" [crossed out] spaces, 4 "take countries or income tax." The countries are arranged in 5 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 5. In order to get the increased penalty having two or more is all that is necessary in the group (I think). They don't have to be in a row. The countries have values from 8 (Cuba etc) to 32 (China etc). The foreign aid to get the country vary from $4000 to $16000 (in direct ratio to the value. The penalty varies with the value as follows:- 8-15 --> $1000, 16-25 --> $2000, 25-32 --> $3000, ATOMIC POWER --> $5,000. Players get $100,000 @ start of game and can get more by "World Issue" cards. Can give back countries (there is a card for each country) and get back the foreign aid money. Each player has 1 diplomat, 3 soldiers (and one extra which may be brought into play by "world issue" card, and 1 "spy". With partners there are 2 "diplomats, but one set of others. A spy can be started from any occupied country. Each time a diplomat lands on or passes "start" the player can use a spy. When a [crossed out] soldier lands on an undefended country the attacking country take attacker takes it without paying foreign aid. Also with a spy. When a soldier lands in a country defended by one soldier, the country is put into "vulnerable" countries. Country defended by two soldiers captures the attacker and puts that soldier out of the game. First player to get countries totaling 260 wins, or 300 for a longer game.

Called Felicia. Will go there Friday to play Curt Kaufman's GALLEON. Will also bring back her copy of INTERACTION. Alice figures that Hallmark is holding back till they get some action games, since they think they are hot now. Doing a little thinking about them. Nothing coming yet.

To Brentano's. Looked at INTRIGUE again. The board looks
as follows:-
[diagram of board game, squares along perimeter. Clockwise at top left, labels of corners read "COLLECT $13,000," "COLLECT $20,000," "START," "LOSE A TURN." Center of board reads: "U.S." "INCOME TAX $10,000," "U.S.S.R."]
(see 7/18)
There are 30 country spaces, 7 "world issue" [crossed out] spaces, 4
"take countries or income tax." The countries are arranged
in 5 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 5. In order to get the
increased penalty having two or more is all that is necessary
in the group (I think). They don't have to be in a row.
The countries have values from 8 (Cuba etc) to 32 (China etc).
The foreign aid to get the country vary from $4000 to $16000
(in direct ratio to the value.
The penalty varies with the value as follows:- 8-15 --> $1000,
16-25 --> $2000, 25-32 --> $3000, ATOMIC POWER --> $5,000.
Players get $100,000 @ start of game and can get more by
"World Issue" cards. Can give back countries (there is a
card for each country) and get back the foreign aid money.
Each player has 1 diplomat, 3 soldiers (and one extra
which may be brought into play by "world issue" card,
and 1 "spy". With partners there are 2 "diplomats, but
one set of others.
A spy can be started from any occupied country. Each
time a diplomat lands on or passes "start" the player can
use a spy.
When a [crossed out] soldier lands on an undefended country the
attacking country take attacker takes it without paying
foreign aid. Also with a spy. When a soldier lands in
a country defended by one soldier, the country is put
into "vulnerable" countries. Country defended by two soldiers
captures the attacker and puts that soldier out of the game.
