8/1 WEDNESDAY 2 AUGUST 1967 214th day - 151 days to come

Dave Epstein (see 7/31) came over. Had a mimeographed set of games he calls "Locus Games" since they are all based on using two dice and moving a pc. the two numbers at right angles to each other. None were very original or very well worked out. Following are rough ideas of the games.

BASEBALL:- 15 x 15 board. Player starts at home in one corner Throws red & white dice. Red must move horizontally White vertically. On first move there is no choice. After this there may be choice depending on numbers thrown. However player may always move. See "Board Game" folder.

GOLF:- A series of quadrille holes. Movement is in l the same as in the previous game. When land in a hazard lose strokes.

TI-LO-TACK:- Played with pencil and paper. O is in the center and numbers go from 1 to 6 in all four directions. Players throw the dice and mark an intersection based on red die horiz- ontal (X) and white die vertical (y). First to get three in a row with no wins even if they are separated, as long as no opponent's mark is in between. Diagonal (45°) also counts.
