MONDAY 13 NOVEMBER
1967 317th day - 48 days to come
Thing of an induction type GAME which would be different
from ELEUSIS. Didn't come up with much.
Thinking of a card GAME. Twenty-four cards are used,
equal numbers of a suit for 2, 3, or 4 players (2
suits, 3, etc.). They are shuffled and placed in a
5 x 5 layout with the center empty. Captures are by
jumping, including multiple. First jump must be over
a lower number. Didn't seem to work out very well.
Another idea. A layout with a few empty spaces.
Players move a card of their suit over a card or line of
cards onto an empty space. Cards passed over are not
captured. Instead player scores points for cards passed
over. Another possibility, keep record of cards passed
over and trying to get set, or sets. (Looks promising.)
Called Alice to get Jake Williams' phone number (YU9-7679)
Called him and arranged to get together next Monday
to discuss I'M ALL TIED UP.
Letter from Haar Hoolim. Reproduced rules for ARMOR, but
seem to be similar the same as the handwritten copies
he sent before. Also sent me a reproduction of his
agent's contract. I don't like it since it calls for
him sharing some of the expenses.
Letter from Mike Abrams. He will send me a copy of
the rules for CRISIS and INS, which I must re-
turn.
He sent me a coupon for ordering a business
game from Procter & Gamble. The game is VENTURE
and the address is:-
The Procter & Gamble Co.
Director of Educational Services
(Venture)
P.O. Box 599, Cincinatti, Ohio 45201
Thinking of ideas for playing OPERATION SEARCH with a
regular deck of cards. Play the version that only the
number of cards that a player has is given, not with
actual passing of the cards. Questions could be:-
"How many odd hearts to you have", or "even high"
(6 to 10), or "low black", or "black pictures", or "5s & 9s", etc.
Two factors must always be combined in the question.
