I was still unhappy and Jim said to think about it awhile | |||
and then talk about it some more, since he was due at a | |||
meeting. I asked him to call me tomorrow. | |||
Picked up the 36 boxes of plastic chips from "Synthetic | |||
Plastics Novelties." When I looked at them at home found | |||
that there were 4 shades of blue and that the only | |||
rare color was orange. | |||

Call from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. He asked if I had done any more thinking | |||
on <u>LANDGRAB</u>. Not much, but then I thought of using [hexes] | |||
large hexes divided into 37 small ones. Each player starts | |||
in the center and all the bidding layouts are the same. | |||
Movement is only to an adjacent space. If there are no | |||
adjacent spaces left, the player can jump to any remaining space. <br> | |||
Also thought of a simpler scoring system (actually this | |||
came up yesterday and I suggested a score of 1 point for 1 in a | |||
group, 2 for 2, 5 for 3, 7 for 4, 10 for 5, and 5 more for | |||
each additional). Reduced the number of points so that a player | |||
with a good sized group wouldn't automatically win: 1 point for 1, | |||
2 for 2, 3 for 3, 5 for 4, 7 for 5, 10 for 6, 12 for 7, 15 for 8, | |||
20 for 9, 25 for 10, etc. <br> | |||
Called Phil to tell him of my ideas. As I was telling him about | |||
the hex bidding layouts, I realized that 6 bidding cards would | |||
be required. We decided against that. Instead we can use a hex | |||
layout for the land portion, or possibly the staggered <br> | |||
