SATURDAY 16 NOVEMBER
1963
320th day - 45 days to come
RECEIVED 3 FOCUS orders.
RECEIVED 22 patents ordered 10/21 (By error only ordered 22)
Received design patent ordered 10/21.
Received catalog from Hamley's. Not many games.
(Cont. from 11/14/63)
color can not be played more than twice in a row. After the third color in a row you may not go back to the 2nd color buy must return to the 1st - setting a pattern. The player forced to repeat a vertical pattern of colors that has appeared at any time previous, loses.
This is the simplest for of the game that is not trivial, but it can be expanded indefinitely.
One expansion is to allow going back to the 2nd color after play of the third, starting a pattern that eliminates the first color.
Additional color and lines can be added; such as 4 colors & 3 lines, 3 color & 4 lines, 4 colors 7 4 lines, etc.
Played Claude's TOUCHSTONE(8/10/63 & 8/24/63)
Players 3 handed first using chips on a plain black board (undifferentiated). Players in turn place a chip on the board. Until they have 3 separate chips they must play separately. After that they must play next to one already on. In other words they cannot have more than 3 groups but when have less they must move make others. A player can make a play that joins 2 of his groups buy on next turn must start another.
When a player's pc. or group of contiguous pcs. touches a piece or group of both other players colors pieces those touched pcs. are captured. Play to same definite no. of captures.
Played 4 handed. First that had to touch only 2 other colors for a capture. And then that had to touch all 3 other colors - a group being required for this (this was best version).
Played 5 handed on Go board. First allowed diagonal contact, then only orthogonal. Had to touch 3 colors for a capture. Board does not seem as good as undifferentiated board but only played a short time.
