195th Day - 170 Days to Come


Wrote to Nostmaster Bob Luuzon and sent 35¢ for the missing NOST-ALGIA #158.

Thought of a p & p game based on my COMBINATION solitaire. Played it with BB. Used 2 dice to determine the numbers that can be written. They are thrown only once. On a player's turn he moves 1 of the dice to the next highest number. From a 6 I originally had a move to 1 but this kept one player with an even total, the other with an odd. Fixed this by allowing a move from 6 to either 1 or 2. (Not a complete description.) BB liked it.

Played POWER NETWORK and 11 RACES with Phil Laurence. Then started a game of LAPS with the 4 of us. Bogged down and we stopped it. Played most of a game of 11 RACES but it ran quite long and we quit before finishing. BB suggested shortening the paths.
Gave them a copy of VEGAS 13, CHINESECHEK, DAM-IT!, WORDPLAY, and NINETACTOE.
