11 SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 1972
316TH DAY - 50 DAYS TO COME
Wrote a new intro to the BOOK WORLD column.
At a bazaar in White Plains bought about 80 "tie tacks" for
$3.00. They are small metal figures in several different
shapes, and some with stones mounted in them. When I
break off the point they can be used for game pieces.
Also bought 100 "push pins" for 50¢.
Arthur called. He asked if I knew about Ideal's game MARK THREE
which he saw advertised. He had shown THREE to Jules Cooper
and was just checking. Told him about MARK THREE, an action
TIC-TAC-TOE variation.
Gave him the adress [address] of the AGOG reader (see 11/8) who was
interested in the HIGH DECK. Arthur will write to him.
Dale brought me a letter from a fellow who is both an S & T
and AGOG reader. He sent me a game, CARD FOOTBALL, that he
invented after seeing CARD BASEBALL. He gave me permission to
use in a book if I wish.
To the Richters. Al got a letter from Earl Perel with a description
of DON'T BLOW A FUSE. Al thinks he can work out a way of
doing it.
Played SUPER-TAC-TOE with Al. We both found it quite intriguing.
Four of us played IMAGE. It wasn't bad.
Adela said that they both loved MYWORD!
(cont. from 11/12)[12/8]
a new pyramid. Aces and Kings are placed face up in the
general area of correctly guessed cards. They count
as -10. Cards from the discard pyramid can be built down
solitaire style - from the kings of correctly guessed cards,
or up on the aces. They also count -10. When the face-
down pyramid has ten cards on it and a card is
turned that cannot be placed the game is over. If the
net score is plus, it is considered a certain height climb
up the mountain. Another round is then started by the
same player or the next if more than 1 is playing, trying
to see how far up the mountain they can climb before
falling off. (Fairly complete idea.)
Showed my COMBINATION solitaire to Anne, but she wasn't
very impressed.
When I told Arthur I preferred games with cognetive [cognitive] choice
instead of sensary [sensory] choice he showed me his latest "final"
version of PARIS. It is the same as the rules given
on 5/8/70 except that the 8 cards are layed [laid] out in
the position as shown:-
