121st day 244 days to come
With Claude to a toy store in Ridgewood. Saw MAN FROM
UNCLE (MB). Simple card game. 42 card deck 7 each of
numbers 1 THRU 6. 2 to 4 players. Each player has 3 cards
and replace after playing. Play one card in turn. Score
1 point for sc making the total 10 point,. 2 for 20 points,
etc, up to 5 points for 50 points. Any of the scoring
totals can be surpassed including 50. When 50 or more
is reached the cards are discarded and a new trick
started. Didn't note total points req'd for winning game.
At Lawrence's played AIRLINE. Worked beautifully again
and I won in another close finish. At one time a hop was
open for bidding which would complete routes for two players.
Also between them, with the offered hop, they could
arrange a trade so that both could complete line routes.
I allowed them to discuss having only one bid, split the
price, & then do the trading.
