three, for a total of six.
BB and me to <u>Claude</u>'s for the evening. Took two games he
picked up for me in thrift shops - <u>BRIDGE FOR ONE</u> (25¢)
and <u>WINNING BRIDGE IN AS LITTLE AS 8 HOURS</u> ($1.00) (not a
game but a series of quiz cards). He had called me at the
time asking whether I wanted Parker's <u>DUET BRIDGE</u>. I
thought I had it but found that I didn't. Store was closed
when he went back and the following week he couldn't find
the game.
Gave <u>Claude</u> a copy of the book <u>''THE PENGUIN HOYLE''</u>.
Played 3-hand <u>LOA</u>. Used the layout of 5/26, except that they
straight lines were reduced to 4 pieces, centered, instead
of 5. Jumping over oponent wasn't allowed. Reducing from 10
men to 9 each seemed to make a big different, practi-
cally eliminating the clogging we experienced last time. (I would
have won except that I figured out the only way I could be
stopped. Then Claude won.)
Played <u>SPACE STIX</u>, me against Claude. (I won lopsidedly.)
BB, Anne, Claude, and Marty played <u>X-CHANGE-WORD</u>. They
extended the playing time twice. (BB won, with Anne close be-
hind.)

(cont. from 6/11) [6/11]
<u>Al & Adele Richter</u> here in the evening. We discussed Al's game
<u>WHIRLPOOL</u> (that is Al & I did). He used cards to allow players
to move their marbles. A single card of his color giving a
rotary move and a pair giving an inward move. Certain
combinations allow a spin. I suggested using cards to per-
mit actual turning of the board skillfully. He'll work on
this.
Showed Al <u>X-CHANGE-WORD</u> and <u>OPEN BRIDGE</u>. Showed
<u>NINE OF SWORDS</u> to both of them.
Al & I played <u>ORION</u> - the game called "Libra." It seemed
impossible to force a win. I suggested a rule that the piece
being moved had to end up further forward. This seemed to
take care of the problem.
