other of opposing forces, there is a battle. Each player shakes one
die for each pc. he has in the battle, including diagonally. Or

He said that Bob Claude is sending me the four Educational
<u>GAME</u>s they have put out. Claude is also quite interested
in seeing my Geographical <u>GAME</u>. [crossed out]
I told Harry that my time was between 2 and 3 hours.
 
Later I was thinking further about my Geographical Game. The
board could show only the outline of the states, while [crossed out]
plastic overlays could have the various different information so
that play could be with known information or with players
depending on their memory. Also thinking of having BB work
right along with me in all phases of the game. In
addition to the ideas of 11/14/67, want to add the products
of the states. Reaching a state could give a player
