1, 2, or 3 cards are bet on. (I wasn't thrilled with it.)
We played a round of <u>PATTERNS II</u>. (Very good.)
Played some <u><u>EGGHEAD POKER</u></u>. (Fun for a while but not more  <br>
than two times.
Arthur & Wald had a complete reworking of <u>THREE</u>, and I think  <br>
it's great now.  <br>
Use the <u>NOVA</u> board as before. One player has 9 red and one  <br>
player has 9 white picks. There are also 3 green ones.  <br>
Each player in turn places 3 picks.  <br>
Opponent's picks can be captured by completing a straight  <br>

Playing this captures the 3 enemy pcs.

for the duration of the game. There are, of course, only three  <br>
green picks.  <br>
A player may not place more than 3 picks at a single
