Further | Further thinking about trading in <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>. Before the cards are all | ||
taken:- A double on the white dice allows a player to trade a number | |||
card for another of the same class. Instead a player may trade for any | |||
other number card, paying the other player $1,000 times the no. | |||
on one white die. The player shaking the double must trade, but can | |||
arrange a different trade than one he is allowed to force. Also at | |||
this time all players may trade if they wish. Trading cannot | |||
be done except when a white double is thrown. With the throw | |||
of a triple the player must still pay if he wants to trade in | |||
different classes. He may, if he wishes, made a 2nd, and | |||
then a third trade. | |||
<br>After all the cards are taken:- Any double allows the player to force a | |||
trade, under the same rules as before. A player, however, may elect to skip | |||
a turn in order to avoid being forced to trade with a cash payment. His | |||
cards can still be taken by other players. In this stage black cards are also | |||
subject to trades, the same as the number cards | |||
<u>Jim Dunnigan</u> called to invite BB and me to a party celebrating the | |||
move to the 9th floor, tomorrow at 5. (Dale & Phil told me about it | |||
yesterday.) We'll probably go. | |||
<u>Bill Eckhart</u> called in answer to my call of yesterday. <u>VIEWLINE</u> didn't | |||
make it in the tests. It was O.K. to play, but too much like <u>BINGO</u>. They | |||
did not get to the new version of <u>JUNGLE RACE</u>. They only are putting | |||
out two <u>GAME</u>s, one based on "recognition" and the other something in the | |||
order of <u>BUG-OUT</u>, an action game in which little bugs are scooped out of | |||
a container. I'll see them at Toy Fair. | |||
<br>Bill said they'd like to see other of my games. I said that I'd try | |||
to come up with something, but that they really should look at the new | |||
version of <u>JUNGLE RACE</u>. Bill said they would. |
