=== 214 DAY - 151 DAYS TO COME ===
New ideas for a deductive game - tentative home <u>INVESTIGATION</u>.
Another possible name - <u>TWISTS AND TURNS</u>. On quadrille fields
each player puts a continuous string of lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and
6 long - but not necessarily in that order. Try to determine
the other's layout by asking for the content of one space, or
more in a limited number of times. Answer is "hit," "near"
miss" (next to), or "miss." If get correctly score 1 point. If
wrong opponent gets two points. Possible for both to try, at
any time each has had the same number of turns.
<br>Made a new layout for <u>RALLY</u> (<u>LAPS</u>). Filled in the numbers
on an overlay. BB and I tried it on the overlay. Seemed better.
 
Finished the letter to <u>Tom Atwater</u>. Mentioned <u>HIT THE JACKPOT</u>,
<u>SQUARE OFF</u>.
 
Wrote to <u>Kees Vanes</u> (which I gather is a pseudonym
for <u>C. Van Schagon</u>). Mentioned <u>CREATOR</u> and his children's
games.
