In Monaco bought <u>ELDORADO</u> (Edmond Dujardin) and  <br>
<u>DIX PETITS INDIENS</u> (Gay-Play). Gay-Play also mentioned  <br>
<u>DIAMINO</u>, <u>DIAMINO-POKER</u>, <u>LE TOUR DU MONDE EN 80 JOURS</u>, and  <br>
<u>DEFENSE D'AFFICHER</u>.
Started a game of <u>PROFIT</u> with BB in Genoa but didn't  <br>
complete it because we were too tired.

chains and then throws 2 dice - 1 regulation and 1  <br>
with 3 "up" and 3 "down" faces. The result moves the price  <br>
up or down 10 points for each 1 on the regular die. The  <br>
maximum price of a chain is $3,000 and the minimum  <br>
12 $100. (Jerry had the die with 3 up and 3 down faces.  <br>
In general a player wanted the price to move in a certain  <br>
direction, but it was completely a matter of luck. I suggested,  <br>
and Jerry agreed, to have 2 up, 2 down, and  <br>
2 blank faces. When a blank is thrown the player chooses  <br>
the direction.)  <br>

more franchises in a chain that is all sold out (no figures    <br>
left in the inner compartment). He can buy only from one  <br>
player and can buy up to the number that player has. He  <br>
puts down $1000 as a deposit on each franchise he wants to  <br>
buy. Then, starting with the seller, each player in turn  <br>
throws the regular die until each has thrown the die 5  <br>
times. The seller's throws raise the price and the buyer's  <br>
lower it, until the final price is reached. If the price has  <br>
risen to the point where the buyer has insufficient money, he  <br>
loses his deposit to the would be seller. (Jerry was talking about  <br>
using the 2 dice with the new face set up. My later  <br>
idea is to throw the 2 of them 5 times, a blank face  <br>
always being considered an "up", so that the price is apt to rise.)  <br>
Note: A player having 3 of the same franchise has a "half  <br>
chain." 6 of the same franchise is a "full chain." A full chain  <br>
can not be touched by a demand card.  <br>
