FRIDAY 29 NOVEMBER 1968 334th day - 32 days to come

Played Network with Ricki. He beat me and he liked it.

Letter from Bob Claude. He has sent copies of MONAD and VENTURE. to me.

Last Sunday while helping Dale with her math had some
ideas for SETUP (see 2/9 & 2/12). Use cards with Ven
diagrams as in the samples. Players in turn draw one and
ask for the number a player
has of the particular area
shown in the diagram sub-
stituting the letter, color,
or number he wishes. The card can also have the symbolic
representation for the Ven diagram written on it. For
other games, such as taking away tiles from another
player, triple sets can be used as shown. Two sets of cards can be included.

[Five small depictions of Venn diagrams with different areas left shaded and unshaded. The diagrams are labeled with different combinations of 'letter', 'number', and 'color'.]

Joe D'Ambra's brother, Tony in with some games he invented.
His wife works for some people who distribute slot car racing equipment. They are willing to invest $10,000 into putting out his games and he wanted my opinion of them, DICE-O-LETTE. A ROULETTE. 'type layout based on the . throws of a dice Calso a version with 5 dice). Bet on a number from 7 to 42 with some some side bets such as ODD or EVEN OF HIGH or Low. The odds he gives for a number are all 5 to to !, which off course is rediculous Told him there was nothing there that ROULETTE didn't do better, POKA - DICE" Layouty for the combinations of a dice Calso a version with 5 dice including new hands such as 5 ) 3 pain, full house and a pair, etc. Bet on these hands , A little more interesting than the previous gawe but the odds are still all wet. GAME with no name, similar POKERtype arrangements of 7 (or 5) dice. In this game, however, all players chip to pot. Then each in turn makes a side bet and throws the dice, Collect from each other player according to the odds for that particular combination. Keep track of the combination and player with highest type hand wins the pot. He also had an opptional optional side bet for highest total on the dice. I suggested splitting the put between high total and high hands He asked what he could do to repay me for my help, Told him to give me copies of the games when they come out. Also told him of March 15th deadline to get into my book.
