16 SUNDAY - APRIL 1972
SECOND SUNDAY AFTER EASTER - 107TH DAY - 259 DAYS TO COME
Looked at the game DRUG ATTACK. Not much of a game.
Looked at the rules for SCRABBLE in the small set
I got with the 1966 catalog. There were some variations
given, including UN-SCRABBLE. Took the rules with me.
Took 4000 A.D., NEW TOWN - the board, DRUG ATTACK, and
NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO. Also two copies of AGOG.
Made a copy of the board for 4000 A.D. to keep with the
rules in case I don't get the package Rubbens claims
to have sent.
Herb Siegel called. Told me that he and Jackie would reach
Rochester before noon on Tuesday.
(cont. from 4/17) [4/21]
FOUR LETTER WORDS.
Played 4-hand DIALEMMA. They liked it altho it sometimes got a
little frustrating when you were just in position to complete
and it gets broken up. Also some configurations were much harder to
complete than others.
Later thought of using 5 configurations instead of the
4 we used tonight. Place them on a strip in 5 positions numbered
from 3 thru 7. The player matching a configuration scores the
value of its position. When a car is removed all those of
lower value are moved up 1 position so that those that stay
around longer tend to become more valuable.
[Started 4/21]
(cont. from 4/29) [5/2]
Gave Claude a check for $22.63 for 1st quarter EXECUTIVE DECISION
(adjusted for the overpayment in 2nd quarter 1971).
In "Berman Twins Dep't Store" Claude and I looking at games. He noticed
that "Created by Alexander Randolph" was on the SQUARE OFF box top.
Rcd. another letter from Haar Hoolim. Sent me the rules of the
Or Da game "by" Prof. Tauber. It is a direct steal from SUIT YOURSELF,
as Haar said.
From Haar's original description of the GAME I thought the
players could take as many as they wished of the same color
in a row with no pcs. between them, but with empty spaces
allowed. A scoring idea could be to multiply the number of marbles
taken by the number of spaces in the row, including the marbles
and empty spaces, if any.
Tauber is also talking about knocking off STRATEGO.
Rcd. THE GAMESLETTER (Vol. 8, #35). In review of ALBION #35,
in addition to the second half of SPACE SHOOTERS, there is a game
(cont. on 4/15)
