To <u>Arthur</u>'s. After supper by taxi to <u>Wald</u>'s. | |||
We played a new <u>GAME</u> using the <u>BYWORD</u> deck (see 9/3). <br> | |||
The 36 yellow, white, and red cards are layed out face up. <br> | |||
Players in turn take any two cards they wish, except that <br> | |||
they cannot have more white cards than yellow, or more red than <br> | |||
white. Then 6 cards are turned from the green deck. The matching <br> | |||
cards, both on the layout and in the player's possession, are <br> | |||
turned face down.If both of a player's cards are turned <br> | |||
down, he is out of this round and also the next. Remaining <br> | |||
players take two more cards, followed by a second six from <br> | |||
the green deck. Then another two cards by each player and a <br> | |||
final six cards from the green deck. (When 2 play, each <br> | |||
player picks 3 cards each turn. When 4 play, each picks 2.) <br> | |||
Players score 1 point for each face up yellow cards, 2 points <br> | |||
for each face up white card, and 4 points for each red card. <br> | |||
Additionally, the total is multiplied by the number of yellow <br> | |||
cards. With no yellow cards each other card is worth 1 point. <br> | |||
The game is played in three "columns". 3 rounds are recorded <br> | |||
in each column. Only the player with the highest total for a <br> | |||
column scores in final tabulation. (Ties?) If the player <br> | |||
with the highest total scores in two rounds, he doubles his <br> | |||
score. Triple if in three rounds. Incidentally, in a round <s>a player</s> <br> | |||
only the player scoring the highest amount enters <br> | |||
his score in the column. (Ties?) <br> | |||
We also played <u>FOLLY</u>. Players in turn are given a setup made <br> | |||
by cutting the cards <s>and</s> (<u>HIGH DECK</u>) and then dealing out <br> | |||
the 32 cards and then removing all except the cut house. <br> | |||
The remaining deck is cut secretly. The player chooses cards <br> | |||
until he picks the card matching that cut. He scores 1 point <br> | |||
for each card picked before matching - with a maximum of 7. <br> | |||
A player has the chance to better the preceeding player <br> | |||
at least once. Thus the first player always has a second <br> | |||
chance if he is topped. In case of a 7, a second 7 tops it. <br> | |||
Scoring is in columns similar to the preceeding. <br> | |||
