THURSDAY 17 AUGUST
1967 229th day - 136 days to come
Called Fay & confirmed a meeting for tomorrow night. Claude called
in evening and I cleared it with him.
Called Alice. Told her about PLAYBOY. She said that Bill Dodge Rod Mudge
had once worked on onc a game for Playboy (at who'se insti-
gation?) and had gone to Chicago with it. Nothing came of it.
She played it and thought it was fun. ( * his own.)
She sent VENTURE CAPITAL, FREE FOR ALL, & PITFALL to X
Monday of this week.
More ideas on X AND O. Use a 6 x 6 grid. First two moves by each
player are blacking in a square. The four blacked in squares
must not be symmetrically placed. Then fill in spaces with X or
O until the end where each player on his last turn may,
if he wishes, black in a square instead of placing his mark.
Diagonals are not counted. Score + 2, - 3, + 4, - 5, + 6.
Thinking of an idea for a multiple player GAME. (Probably
have some data on this in previous years.) There is a
board with various paths. A player's move is determined
by the positioning of all the pieces on the board at the
beginning of his turn. His move will cause him to collect
or pay chips, and this is done with the player immediately
preceeding. Each player has a limited number of chips
and when a player loses all his chips he is out of the game
and the "chain" continues without him. The payoffs are
increased each time a player is eliminated, so that the
game will terminate.
Fay's latest presentation of TREASURE HUNT came. Much shorter.
Fay called BB to talk about the typing.
