becomes 7 pts. from another player's play, it is not a win.  <br>
At first played that value could run passed 7 with  <br>
14 the next winning total, the 21, etc. With 5 playing it  <br>
was much too complex to keep track of the values. Then <br>
prohibited a play that would bring the value passed 7. This <br>
worked better. <br>
Played with 5, 3, 4 in partnerships and 2. It was interesting <br>
but was over too fast; did not have time to <br>
develope.
Played <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?</u> Gave each player $250 and <br>
dealt the 60 cards between the 5 of us. Played with <br>
open and continuous trading and selling until at least <br>
half (in this case three) of the players wanted to stop  <br>
at which time all play stopped. <br>
Sequences had to be at least 3 cards long. In a  <br>
sequence the first card was worth $10, the second $20, the <br>
third $30, etc. Also with 3 or more of the same <s>group</s> <br>
series not in sequence, each card was worth $10. Most <br>
money at end, including cash and sets, won. <br>
Played 3 times. First two times just traded and I won <br>
both. In the third game started getting the hang of <br>
using the money. Claude won by shrewd selling. <br>
They all liked the game and Claude said he was jealous <br>
that he hadn't made it up. Asked them about themes for <br>
the various sets that would add humor to the trading. <br>
Claude asked "How much is it worth" and I said I'd think some <br>
more about it myself.
The four of them started a round robin of <u>THREE</u> <br>
when I left.
Arthur & Anne have been hearing the Ideal mystery games advertised on <br>
radio; on Barry Farber, Bill Marsel, and other places. (cont. on 11/22)
