Monday 3 November 1969

307th day - 58 days to come

Thinking about 3 and 4 hand COUNTERPOINT.
With 3: First player uses any two colors, but cannot score. 2'nd player chooses two of the remaining colors. The third player uses the fifth color and one, of his choice, from the player on his left. Then each, in turn, uses the color he has in front of him plus one taken from the player on his right. When a player completes a scoring configuration, the player on his right scores the amount. When a player [crossout] reaches 50 points the game is over. The one with the lowest score wins. (Didn't try out yet.) With 4: First player uses any two colors, but cannot score, 2nd player chooses two of the remaining colors. The third player uses the fifth color and one, of his choice, from his partner (the first player). The fourth player either takes two from his partner or one from his partner and one from the player's right hand opponent. As the game progresses when it as a player's turn and he has a chip in front[?] of him he must use it and one from his partner. If he doesn't have a chip he can have the choice similar to the 4th player (above). When a player scores or removes a pc. from a scoring combination he piles the chips and his partner only can choose one. (Tried this a little and it seems too confining. It is better to play the 4-hand same as 2-hand.)

Called Diane Jaust to ask if she would like repros of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN article. Her news dealer told her it would be available tomorrow. She would like a repro of Miriam's review. Will send her one tomorrow.

Felicia called. Is writing to Bill Caruson about something else. Decided to tell him that if they definitely want to use SPELLBINDER for the following year we could wait. If not we'd like to show it to others.
