FRIDAY 30 JUNE 1967
181st day - 184 days to come

NYGA meeting at Arthur's. Wald & Claude there.
Claude showed COPS AND ROBBERS which is a game idea
rather than a completed game. The equipment is the
AVALANCHE board (See 1966) with some of the flip-flops
removed and the upper part of the board covered. One
marble of a different color is the robber. This dropped
so that it lodges under the covered portion of the board.
Each player has a set number of marbles. At the beginning
of a turn he says how many he will use and then
must use only exactly that amount. Object is to get
the robber marble together with one of your own in a
compartment at the bottom. The compartments only
hold two marbles each.
I showed : - DRILL FOR OIL. I liked it (I won handily) and
the others found it moderately good.
Wald, Claude and I played VENTURE CAPITAL (again I won)
they were very enthusiastic about it.
Told Wald and Arthur about my INFINITE PLANE and showed
them the equipment. Didn't play.
