26 SATURDAY - MAY 1973
148TH DAY - 219 DAYS TO COME

Working on game diary most of the day.

In WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?, or COLLECTOR'S CHOICE thinking
of ideas to lengthen the stand up game: 1) When 4 to 6 play, all
but 1 player must agree to stop. When 7 to 9 play, all but
2 players must agree to stop. When 10 to 12 play, all but 3
players must agree to stop. 2) Limit the permissible length
of sequences. 3) Make it compulsary for players to tell
each other how long their sequences are - the ones involved
in the trading. This should make for much more scientific
bargaining.

At Laurence's played HIT THE JACKPOT with Phil and Elliott.
We seemed to do a lot of chasing each other around the same
circuit. To break patterns I tried the following: Deal out
the 12 cards equally. A player can use a card to allow a
move of 2 instead of 1. This helped a little but it wasn't
too useful.
Another idea (that we didn't try) was to use the cards to
allow moving in opposite direction on an arrow. A player doing
this could not go back in the proper ditection on that arrow
as his following move.
