SUNDAY 18 JUNE
Father's Day
Fourth Sunday after Trinity 1967 169th day - 196 days to come
Played game of CASINO with BB & Esther.
(cont. from 6/17) [6/17]
"choice" faces. Played with BB and the Laurences. Played fairly
well but bogged down towards the end. Used a deck of 36
oil well cards. "DRY, DRY, DRY, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, REPEAT.
Divided into 5 packs and put back at ramdom. Repeated twice more.
Used 18 "refinery" cards 3 each of 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12. One die had the
following faces:- Drill, Drill, Drill, Refinery, Choice, Choice. The other
had:- Profit, Profit, Profit, Loss, --, --. Players in turn throw the two
dice. When "Drill" comes the players bid for the right to take the
top oil well card (sight unseen). Each player has a set of 18 cards:-
1- thru 9- , -1 thru -9, two of which are used for a bid. After nine
bids the cards are picked up and used again. Refinery cards are bid for
in the same way, except that the top card is faced up to be bid
upon.
When a player throws "Profit" he is credit with the nubmer
of matched "oil well" and "refinery" cards (in other words, the
one has least of. When a player throws "loss", he loses
the top "oil well" or "Refinery" card in his pile, depending on
the other die. In case of "Choice" he can choose to lose
either one or a loss of points equal to that he would gain.
When "Profit" comes up, there is bidding after the
player collects his profit. With "Loss" there is no bidding.
Play until either "Oil Well" or "Refinery" cards are ex-
hausted and it comes up again. Most points wins.
The bidding for the oil wells is the most interesting
feature and I will have to emphasize this, probably elimin-
ating the dice and the refinery cards.
