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>
