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

"Demand" (9 of).
more franchises in a chain that is all sold out (no figures
left in the inner compartment). He can buy only from one
player and can buy up to the number that player has. He
puts down $1000 as a deposit on each franchise he wants to
buy. Then, starting with the seller, each player in turn
throws the regular die until each has thrown the die 5
times. The seller's throws raise the price and the buyer's
lower it, until the final price is reached. If the price has
risen to the point where the buyer has insufficient money, he
loses his deposit to the would be seller. (Jerry was talking about
using the 2 dice with the new face set up. My later
idea is to throw the 2 of them 5 times, a blank face
always being considered an "up", so that the price is apt to rise.)
Note: A player having 3 of the same franchise has a "half
chain." 6 of the same franchise is a "full chain." A full chain
can not be touched by a demand card.
If a player cannot or chooses not to use a demand card, he can
buy a franchise in the usual manner.
"Payoff on Investment" (9 of). From each opponent collect twice the
pad price [Illegible crossed out] (the price on the "pad" for a franchise of that
chain) for each full chain, the pad price for each half pad, and $100
for each other franchise.
