    <u>SWITCH</u> is new name for card game <u>Matrix</u> (see 7/4). He added a new rule that once a player reaches 16 points he can direct the play of his partner (otherwise the tendency was for the partner to play against him to keep him from winning by reaching 20 pts.)

    Played two games of <u>JUMP -A- SCORE</u> with Dana & changed the name to <u>POTENTIAL</u>. Added a rule for chain reactions. If a pc. scores with a total in an even multiple of 5 a chain reaction is started and one of the pcs. already in the space is moved out counting the exit number (or "potential") as all the numbers including the one <s>you</s> just moved in. If the pc. moved is the player's own & it scores the player gets the score. If another player's piece is moved into a scoring situation it is deducted from his score. The chain reaction can be continued as long as the scoring number is an even multiple of 5. A space with 4 can be entered <s>with</s> if a chain reaction results.
Played two games of <u>JUMP-A-SCORE</u> with [https://sacksonportal.museumofplay.org/s/sackson-portal/page/glossary-people#sackson-dana Dana]
    Play to a score of 150 pts. Each player should get his turn & in case of tie continue until a player is ahead at the end of a round. Or perhaps it would be better to allow each player to have one more turn after a player reaches 150 to try and catch up.

    Made an arrangement of numbers which I think will be more equitable and will almost eliminate frozen spaces - considering that they can be unblocked with a "chain reaction".
