WEDNESDAY 6 APRIL
Wednesday in Holy Week 1966 96th day - 269 days to come
Arthur came over at lunch time and I went out with him.
Random House had sent him to Hallmark where he showed
a woman his High Deck. He doesn't think there is too much
chance of them accepting it. This is a different
division from Project X.
Arthur has a new HIGH DECK MERLIN'S SOLITAIRE. This is similar
to RAITONAL SOLITAIRE with the following changes. The 32 cards
are laid out in an 8xr layout - face down. The 4 corner
cards are turned up. Two cards in the same line, vertical or horizontal,
can be moved, either one to the other, if they are the same rank
or of adjacent rank (regardless of house) or of matching major and minor
(regardless of house).
The card (or pile) can pass over other cards. After the four corner
cards are turned up the player can turn over up to four more cards,
each one being next to one already faced. The maximum number
of cards that can be faced at one time is 8. Object to get all the cards
in one pile.
Called Bill Bentzin, or rather he called me back. Gave him my telephone
expenses & he will send me a check. Said he'd remind Bud Meyers
again about sending me the trip material.
Brought CINEMA to Alice. Took back SIT DOWN AND THINK to
fix the box and rpl replace the die, which was missing. There
was a letter from Bill Caruson. They like the game and will
probably use it next year if it is still available.
Alice gave me a $50 check for the March Hallmark payment.
Saw a game called CHIP-IN which someone had sent in. There is a
board with 4 layouts with numbers 2 to 12 (not in that order),
also a series of similar numbers around the pot in the center
of the board. Players in turn throw 2 dice. Object is to cover
their layout in order. When don't get right number can cover one
of the center numbers, if available. If not must chip to the
pot. First player to complete his layout wins the pot. For faster game
players can use either die or total of 2. (Not much of a game.)
Wrote covering letter in CINEMA to Roland Kolman.
