<u>WHO IS THE MURDERER</u> is a very simple children's game. <br> | |||

Rcd. a letter from from <u>Bob Lauzon</u>, with my membership <br> | |||
card in <u>NOST</u>. <br> | |||
Rcd. <u>''THE GAMESLETTER''</u> #27. | |||
Worked out a new price structure for <u>LOTTERY</u> and made a <br> | |||
new payment chart. Also changed a lot of the "Travel <br> | |||
Cards. Played with <u>Al & Adela Richter</u>. They liked it. <br> | |||
Gave Al an old set (not the very earliest) of <u>ACQUIRE</u>. BB <br> | |||
will type up the rules for the two hand version for him. <br> | |||
We played a completelt new version of his <u>GAME</u> of 4/17 on <br> | |||
the <u>GO</u> board. We tried different sizes <br> | |||
and finally came down to a 10 x 10 area <br> | |||
similar to shown, | |||
[Diagram of a 8 x 8 grid with 2 black circles and 2 white circles - one near each corner.] | |||
except that an additional <br> | |||
line all around is provided. I believe that <br> | |||
a checkerboard as shown would serve equally well. <br> | |||
We tried different starting positions <br> | |||
and finally I came up with the one shown <br> | |||
which seems to be the best. <br> | |||
We played partnership but it is just the <br> | |||
same as a 2-hand with partners taking turns. <br> | |||
(What follows is written as played 2-hand.) | |||
