Sunday 26 December 1965
Washington Crossed the Delaware 1776
First Sunday after Christmas - St. Stephen
360th day - 5 days to come

Played 6-handed CONCENSUS with dad, Ilka, and the 4 of us.
Used the rule of last night. Worked O.K.
later played 4-hand with Dana, Dale & Joey. Also worked
well tho Dale won on a forced move, the other 2 spaces
being prohibited.

Spoke to Arthur. He has a new version of MACHIAVEL which
he says is now very clear. I'll go there Thursday if Claude
can make it. He is going to show some games to LOWE.

(cont. from 12/31)
If there is a team has a duplication of melds (such as V-MS
in 2 different houses) the value is doubled. Triple
score for 3. Quadruple score for 4. If a team
has corresponding me combinations in major and minor
of the same house it counts triple.

For example
KFL [RING OF SMALL CIRCLES] = 30 x 2 = 60
KFL [BLACK CIRCLE] = 30 x 5 = 150
VCM [BLACK CIRCLE] = 20 x 3 = 60
270 total [ALL 3 ROWS]
Four rounds are a game.
Winning 2 in a row - 25 points bonus.
Winning 3 in a row - 50 [POINTS BONUS].
Winning 4 in a row - 100 [POINTS BONUS].
An excellent game.

Played Claude's game ESCAPE. There is a long single path
trail with 4 different types of spaces, bridge, mountain,
jungle, building. There are 3 soldiers, numbered 1 to 3,
spaced at intervals along the trail. There is a deck
of 7 cards each with one of the 4 types of spaces.
After each player's turn one of these is turned and
the 3 soldiers are moved, starting with1, to the next
space of that type. If one lands on another he is
moved to the next space of the type. when a soldier
reaches an end of the path he reversed direction and
continues. The 7 are kept is the same order so that it
can be memorized and the pos coming position of the
soldiers determined.
