Two play and each uses a different colored pencil. Choose <br> | |||
for first and first player places a dot of his <br> | |||
color at any intersection (including those of only 2 lines <br> | |||
if he wishes). Then the second player places a dot. Then <br> | |||
the first player draws along a line from a dot to an adjacent <br> | |||
intersection. Similarly with 2nd player. Then first player <br> | |||
can draw a new line from either end of his first line. <br> | |||
Etc. The only limitation is that the same line cannot <br> | |||
be traversed more than once. When one player can make <br> | |||
no further moves the other <s>can</s> continues making as many <br> | |||
additional lines as he can, counting one point for each. <br> | |||
(I think it would be preferable to score 10 points for the <br> | |||
1st line and 1 point for each there after.) <br> | |||
The game was popular and I won all those I played. | |||
Played two games of <u>EGO HIGH</u> (with Bob sleeping out <br> | |||
of the game). The rules were similar to those of 10/30/64 <br> | |||
with some changes. See large card file for all information <br> | |||
on the game. | |||
Arthur told me of <u>SOCIETY</u> which is a simplification <br> | |||
of <u>BRIDGE WITH HIGH DECK</u> (12/27/63). Person bids and <br> | |||
coalitions have been eliminated. <br> | |||
The scoring is changed but I don't see it. Making any <br> | |||
contract scores 120 below line. Above line score 30 for each <br> | |||
unit in number bid (30 - 60 - 90 - 120). When set lose 30 <br> | |||
