Rcd. the copy of <u>PANZERBLITZ</u> from <u>Tom Shaw</u>. Looked interesting <br> | |||
but I didn't go through it yet. <br> | |||
Called <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> to ask him if he wants me [to] <br> | |||
review <u>PANZERBLITZ</u>. He has someone else to do it. <br> | |||
I suggested that he print the parts of Tom's letter <br> | |||
to me concerning <u>THE STOCK MARKET GAME</u>. He said he <br> | |||
would. | |||
<u>Claude</u> here for supper. <br> | |||
He had a new card game he made, which I later called <br> | |||
<u>PRIME</u>. A regular 52 card deck is used. Each player is <br> | |||
dealt 10 cards and the rest are dealt face down. <br> | |||
Cards have their face value, except for pictures which <br> | |||
count as 2. <br> | |||
First player plays any card which is a prime number <br> | |||
(including 1 as a prime). The next adds a card which <br> | |||
makes the total a prime. Continue in turn adding <br> | |||
cards always keeping a prime total. <br> | |||
When a player can't play he takes in the played cards, <br> | |||
and places them in a penalty pile and then takes <br> | |||
5 more cards from the face down pile, and starts a new <br> | |||
series of numbers. <br> | |||
When a player plays out all of his cards he wins <br> | |||
the number of points that the other player has cards <br> | |||
in his penalty pile. <br> | |||
Under these rules the old cards are worthless <br> | |||
except to start a series. I suggested allowing a player to <br> | |||
combine two odd cards to make an even number and <br> | |||
play then together. This worked out quite well. <br> | |||
Then Claude suggested changing the pictures from <br> | |||
