Played Claude's <u>SEVEN</u>. Played on an 11 x 11 board (which <br> | |||
Arthur happened to have around). Each player had chips <br> | |||
of a distinctive color. Players in turn play one in any <br> | |||
space they wish. <s>Two or more pcs. in a</s> Pcs. <br> | |||
adjoining either diagonally or orthogonally are counted <br> | |||
together - in groups. In any group a player's own pcs. <br> | |||
count 2 pts. each and opponent's pcs. count 1 pt. each. <br> | |||
Object is to place a piece that causes the group it <br> | |||
becomes a part of (isolated pcs. may be joined) to add to <br> | |||
exactly 7 pts. Win when you do this. If your count <br> | |||
becomes 7 pts. from another player's play, it is not a win. <br> | |||
At first played that value could run passed 7 with <br> | |||
14 the next winning total, the 21, etc. With 5 playing it <br> | |||
was much too complex to keep track of the values. Then <br> | |||
prohibited a play that would bring the value passed 7. This <br> | |||
worked better. <br> | |||
Played with 5, 3, 4 in partnerships and 2. It was interesting <br> | |||
but was over too fast; did not have time to <br> | |||
develope. | |||
Played <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?</u> Gave each player $250 and <br> | |||
dealt the 60 cards between the 5 of us. Played with <br> | |||
open and continuous trading and selling until at least <br> | |||
half (in this case three) of the players wanted to stop <br> | |||
at which time all play stopped. <br> | |||
Sequences had to be at least 3 cards long. In a <br> | |||
sequence the first card was worth $10, the second $20, the <br> | |||
third $30, etc. Also with 3 or more of the same <s>group</s> <br> | |||
series not in sequence, each card was worth $10. Most <br> | |||
money at end, including cash and sets, won. <br> | |||
Played 3 times. First two times just traded and I won <br> | |||
both. In the third game started getting the hang of <br> | |||
using the money. Claude won by shrewd selling. <br> | |||
They all liked the game and Claude said he was jealous <br> | |||
that he hadn't made it up. Asked them about themes for <br> | |||
the various sets that would add humor to the trading. <br> | |||
Claude asked "How much is it worth" and I said I'd think some <br> | |||
more about it myself. | |||
The four of them started a round robin of <u>THREE</u> <br> | |||
when I left. | |||
Arthur & Anne have been hearing the Ideal mystery games advertised on <br> | |||
radio; on Barry Farber, Bill Marsel, and other places. (cont. on 11/22) | |||
