MET WITH BOB , CLAUDE, & AMBERSTONES. PLAYED BOB'S NEW VERSION OF ELEUSYS, THE CARDS ARE ALL DEALT OUT TO THE PLAYERS. EACH IN TURN PLAYS A CARD AND THE RULE MAKER SAYS WHETHER IT GOES ON THE "MAIN LINE" OR THE "SIDE LINE". AFTER PLAYING A CARD A PLAYER MAY, IF HE WISHES, MAKE A GUESS OF THE RULE . UNLESS HE HAS IT EXACTLY HE IS TOLD NO. THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR A WRONG GUESS (OUTSIDE OF THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO THE OPPONENTS. THE FIRST TO GUESS THE RULE ENDS THE PLAY. WE PLAYED WITHOUT SCORING. MY THOUGHT : - IF THE RULE IS GUESSED CREDIT THE CREATOR WITH THE NUMBER OF CARDS PLAYED TO THE TABLE, THE GUESSER WITH THE NUMBER UNPLAYED (ADDING UP TO 52): THE OTHERS GET NO SCORE. IF NO ONE GUESSES THE CREATOR IS PENALIZED. (THIS HAS ONE DRAWBACK. A PLAYER MAY KNOW THE RULE NEAR THE END BUT NOT SAY IT TO GIVE THE CREATOR A PENALTY.)

PLAYED DIAMOND CLUB (SEE 9/1) USED THE RULE THAT PLAYERS MAY DROP OUT EVEN IF THEY COULD SWITCH. SCORING WAS AS FOLLOWS: DIAMONDS - 25, PICTURES - 5, OTHERS - 1. DISCUSSED THE IDEA OF GIVING DIAMOND PICTURES A HIGHER VALUE.
