Call from <u>Felicia</u>. In her covering letter to <u>Stubbman</u> she said<br>
that she would get <u>OVER 'N OVER</u>, <u>ECLIPSE</u>, and<br>
<u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u> to him in about 2 weeks.<br>
 
<u>Claude</u> called about <u>ECLIPSE</u>. When I told him that I had<br>
his model he came over for supper and to check thru<br>
his notes for the solution. While he was doing this I<br>
recorded two solutions for <u>OVER 'N OVER</u>, one with the<br>
board layout and another with all one color.<br>
While <u>Claude</u> and I were walking Daisy Anne called to get some<br>
info that <u>Earl</u> called her about. By mistake Claude called <u>Earl</u><br>
instead of Anne. I spoke to Earl after Claude. He asked if<br>
I had heard from Peter about the <u>GAME</u> to be played on<br>
10/14. I hadn't and Earl said he'd have Peter call me.<br>
<u>Issy</u> will be there and Betty if she can make it.<br>
Peter called me and explained a little about the game. Some<br>
friends of his have a company for developing learning games. This<br>
game is played on 3 boards (not with a computer). The<br>
first is quadrille and has 5 power bases. Each of these has a<br>
president and a historian. They expand according to strategic<br>
rules but must do so in accordance with a card given to them<br>
directing that they be tricky or ruthless, etc. A number of<br>
judges determine how well they conform. The second board, which<br>
is used later, is also quadrille, but is more abstract.<br>
The third board is undifferentiated.<br>
They will be playing it again so if I can't make it on<br>
10/14 they will invite me to a later playing. Told Peter I'd<br>
call him Tuesday to let him know if I'll be there.<br>
