FRIDAY 9 MAY 1969 129th day - 236 days to come

Dale was supposed to bring the copyright material to Barbara Francis but wasn't feeling well and didn't go.

Felicia called Played DIGIT with BB with the rule that the player reaching the goal turned over the 3-minute timer and the other player(s) then can also arrive at solutions. The problem developed as to which cards to discard. Decided to discard those of the player who turned the timer. The other players who reach the goal place their hand card on the table. Worked pretty good, but a little messy. Thought of limiting the score of the following players to only the ammount of the goal, times bonuses if any. The first goal reacher gets the objectiv goal value plus 5 points per card.

The contract for SPELLBINDER came. It was written at 4%. They included an advance on royalties of $250 instead of the $125 each closing fee they gave on previous two contracts. Called Felicia to tell her that the 4% was not changed.

(cont. from 5/10) [5/14]

None of these cards are discarded and the player keeps his hand card for the next round.

Played Claude's game MANIPULATION. There is a board with 25 numbered spaces. There [crossed out] are 4 markers of different colors. The positioning of these four markers in the numbered spaces sets up one of 24 different "situations." Each situation gives a different set of values for 4 stocks. (Claude has the stocks corres- pond to the colors of the markers but it would be pre- ferable not to do this.) A player may eiter buy or sell as many shar At the beginning of his turn a player says which color marker he will move and then throws 1 die and moves in an ascending order the number thrown. If land on an occuppied space move to next empty one. After this the player may pass, buy 1 or more shares in one company, or sell share(s) in one company. He may not buy or sell in same turn. (See sheet in "Board Game" folder for values and other information.)

Gave Dale a copy of BAZAAR to bring as a present for staying overnight at a girl friend [started 5/14]
