WEDNESDAY 17 AUGUST 1966 229th day - 136 days to come


At work made up a rough board for playing FOA.

Arthur called. T He would like to submit POWUR to Hallmark. I said I'd check with Alice about the similarity in equipment to RED LETTER. Invited him to come & play YIN-YANG Sunday after next.

Claude called. He passed a coffee house where they were playing CHESS and GO. Went in & was told by who is often there who knows a fellow named Scopes (?) who is often there who knows all about games. He Claude suggested that I go there and I suggested that we go to the village on our next day and look in there.

Finished copying the information on INFLALT INFLATION & filed it in the "Board Game" Folder.

Arthur mentioned some changes in the YIN-YANG scoring. Each player gets an identifying house (similar to winds in MAH JONG). When that dealer turns up a card of his house, the score is double. Each dealer has just one deal. A player who does not have at least three cards in the highest to hierarchys may pass (this, I would say, applies only to the dealer). This replaces my ideas for equalizing the distribution.
