Sent Alice her check for VENTURE CAPITAL.

Alice called. She called Will Erickson. He'll check on the new clause
in INFINITE PLANE and VENTURE CAPITAL, it's news to him.

AD-DIC'TION - A variation of GHOST There is a board with 14 spaces. to place letter cards. Each player has a set of
a letter cands (the 26 letters of the alphabet - I believe).

[Diagram of 14 squares in a horizonal row. The fifth square from the left is marked with a symbol.]

The first card is placed in the marked space and letters can be placed before or after adjacent to a placed letter within the limits of the spaces, The Player who completes a would, or loses a challenge marks a letter in the word addiction and loses when he completes the word, (I believe). The player with the least letters marked at that time wins, (later look) There are 48 letters. in a set, 3-As, etc. There are a sets, so up to 4 can play.

There is a single token which is moved in turn by the the players by dice throw. When a player moves the token to a space whose option he has, he gains this property and when other players move the token over it they must pay rent. (I'll get this.) THE IMPOSSIBLE GAME - Players in turn throw the 6 dice They choose a row (on column) and place matching dice on it. He then gets two more throws to try and complete the row (or column. If a row. (or column) is completed the player can continue for another (parallel row (or column. And so on for a possible six rows (or columns) The scoring is as follows: Four- of a kind in the first roll - 25 points Complete one row in one rollanara -100 points complete one row in two rolls --- - 50 points Complete one row in three rolls - - - 25 points.
