Monday in Holy Week   99th day - 267 days to come

----
Met Mike Abrams at 11:30, till 1. For the next 6 months he 
will be working in Philadelphia on computer applications
for teaching, including simulation games. 
His address will be:- 4819 Beaumont Ave. 
Phila., Pa. 19143

He may still be able to send me a copy of the rules
for CRISIS to look at. His professor was not angry 
at the other set being lost. 
He is thinking of adding play in SUCCESSION with 
numbering systems other than the binary. I suggested 
that if he thinks it would improve the game he should
contact Alice about it. 
He met Robert Allen at Nova H.S. Allen told him about a 
game of his, EUROCARD which is nothing more than a 
series of Flash Cards on European countries and yet is 
selling well.

Thinking of ideas for making FAIR TRADE into a 3-hand game. 
1) Use a 27 card deck, the 2 thru 10 of 3 suits. Sets would 
be 9 cards and all of them would be necessary to win. 
2) Use the 48 card deck and deal, say, 10 to each and the 
remainder in a dummy which is face up as in OPEN BRIDGE. After 
a round of selling from the hand there is a round in 
which each player [crossout] in turn chooses all the cards of 
one group which are at the top of the columns in the dummy.
10 of a set are required to win. 
3) All the cards are face up in a dummy and are auctioned 
off in turn by the choice of each player. (Who gets the money?)
(Don't think that any of these are too good and don't intend to 
pursue it further.)

Wrote Jerry an airmail post card about [words crossed out] 
MENTAL BLOCKS.
