 <br>Played <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>. The idea of allowing purchases after
 all cards were taken didn't work out. The price was almost always
+too high to make it worthwhile. Another possible idea. Any
+double allows a trade in the same classification. A double on the
+white dice allows a trade in different classifications but a
+payment of $1,000 times the number on the <s>white</s> red die
+must be paid. A triple still allows a free trade. In addition,
+a card can be bought for $1,000x the total of the 3 dice.
+<br>Thinking of making trades mandatory rather than optional,
+to get the trading moving.
+<br>Played <u>DISPERSAL</u> with Al. It was over quite quickly. Tried
+that a player had to have a dispersed condition at the end
+of his move 5 times to win, and had to be at least 2
+ahead of the other player.
+<br>Al brought along his copy of the Jan. 1973 <u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>
+to show me Martin Gardner's column. He mentioned <u>G&P</u>, my column
+in <u>S&T</u> and <u>AGOG</u>. Gave rules for <u>THE GAME OF SIM</u>, <u>CHOMP</u>,
+and <u>THE RACE TRACK GAME</u>. Also mentioned the first edition of
+<u>THE GUIDE TO SIMULATION GAMES FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING</u>.

+small games - <u>SUPER-TAC-TOE</u>, etc.
+<br>I told Fred that I might be able to do something else with
+<u>TAKE-A-WORD</u> and he said not to pass up the chance. I said
+that I could replace it if he gets someone interested in the
+series.
+<br>I asked if he has <u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u> and he does.
+he asked me about <u>HABITAT</u>, about the possibility of showing
+it to <u>Marshall Lucas</u> of M.B. Told him that someone was
+interested in it, but that he could show <u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u>.
+We'll keep each other informed.
+Rcd. [received] a call from {<u>Anatole Holt</u> [address, home and business phone numbers]
