SUNDAY 10 SEPTEMBER Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity 1967 253rd day - 112 days to come

Finished the rules for SCORE.

Claud called. He is putting a picture of each of the ten characters on one of the spaces of each. one. On the first round of play each player starts on one of these spaces. After this the game continues as before. He also has a new approach to TEN LITTLE INDIANS. There is are ten cards representing the ten characters and there are also ten envelopes into which the cards fit, each envelope having a number from 1 to 10. The cards are shuffled and 1 is placed in each envelope at random and with- out any player seeing the identity. One envelope is put a- side and the card inside represents the murderer. There is a board with a serious (say 30) spaces in a row, each one having the name of from 2 to 5 characters. The players in turn take an envelope, look at the cards inside, and then place the envelope on the first space containing that character. After all the envelopes are placed a player in his turn can look in any envelope and then move it to the next space containing that character. If there is an envelope in that space it can be opened and again moved in the same way, etc. I fooled around a little with the idea. There is no real deduction involved, just crossing off the characters in the spaces skipped over. Perhaps if the board were a grid and an envelope could be moved to any unoccuppied space in a straight line. Didn't pursue the idea. Claude suggested getting together next Thursday, to discuss games.
