Called <u>Eve Auchincloss</u> at ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>''. She was pleased to  <br>
hear from me. They definitely want me to do a column.  <br>
She wants it for X'Mas. <s>She</s> Her boss was thinking of  <br>
one in October since they will be having an ad for a  <br>
<u>GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB</u> then. Since my trip makes an  <br>
October column difficult she said it would definitely be  <br>
for X'Mas. I'll visit her, probably before leaving, ti discuss  <br>
the article.
Played <u>LOTTERY</u> with, BB, and <u>Dave & Barbara Horn</u>. They liked it  <br>
very much. It is now an excellent game and the problem  <br>
is, who to show it to first so it doesn't get wasted.

letters, or add another, he returns his cards to the  <br>
table with no score and takes another given card.  <br>
What is permitted as a "word" is very flexible. Digits can  <br>
be used as long as they have at least one consonant.  <br>
and have a special meaning (such as 1066 AD). Abbreviations  <br>
are acceptable and punctuation and other  <br>
marks are understood (such as ROTC or EMC2 -  <br>
E - MC^2). Two or more words can be put together as long as  <br>
they have a special meaning together. In case of argument,  <br>
if one other player agrees with the "word" it is  <br>
acceptable.  <br>
First to get 100 points wins.  <br>
<u>Earl</u>'s <u>THE AMERICAN WAY</u> (See 7/26). Used only 16 cards in a  <br>
4 x 4 pattern. There [Illegible crossed out] is a rule that a player may not  <br>
play to any state in two successive <s>moves</s> turns. To  <br>
keep this straight I suggested putting two chips on the  <br>
last play of each player. This helped.  <br>
The first player had a distinct advantage. Claude  <br>
suggested that the first player to be compelled to play  <br>
along the edge, on just one state. We replayed the game  <br>
and it worked much better this way.  <br>
I suggested getting rid of the election theme, which is not  <br>
commercial, and using less squares, since <s>each</s> even  <br>
the 16 we used made a nice game.  <br>
<u>Claude</u>'s <u>MONEY, MONEY, MONEY</u>. The board was the same as  <br>
that I have in my records except for one arrow (which  <br>
probably was just a mistake in copying) in the box  <br>
labeled <u>FREE ENTERPRISE</u>. 4 play each getting $10,000  <br>
and starting his marker in the center space. Movement  <br>
