WEDNESDAY 18 MAY
Rogation Day 1966 138th day - 227 days to come
Thinking of ideas for speeding up SPECTRUM. Each player
given chips at the beginning of the game, 3 times
the number of pcs. set up by each player. Only one
move is made at a time. A color intercept is free,
a color match costs one chip. When one player has
all his pcs. on the field, the other players give up
2 chips for each remaining pc. Most chips wins.
Try that a player can move any base he wishes
(instead of in a definite order) but once a base is
moved the rest of the tower must be moved before
another base is moved.
Alice called. Went to the stationery show. Not much of interest
but I'll go for awhile tomorrow.
The 3M salesman said they may discontinue OH-WAHREE
and PHLOUNDER.
(contin. from 5/19) [5/19]
Sextet Contract Bridge Associates:- SEXTET CONTRACT BRIDGE. Contract
for six played with a 6 suit deck. Rules in "Whist" folder.
The Petersons said they'd be interested in publishing folders
on other games to be played with the deck and would include
the inventors althoug among the associates.
Swing Games :- (76 Beaver St.) Arlene Levy - CL 1-2230 seems to be
the head. They have the following:-
THE DIRTY GAME:- Simplification of BATTLESHIPS. The
squares are designated by cities along one side and
places (such as "hotel room", park, etc.) along the other.
Spy theme.
SOLDIER'S POKER:- Same as LIAR'S POKER.
THE HUNT:- Another pencil & paper game - which I didn't see.
Not ready yet.
Arlene said that she would like my address with the
idea of having me put the finishing touches of some game ideas.
I suggested BIG FUNERAL. After I gave them the post
clipping and told them about the others they were interested
in Claude calling them.
In evening called Claude and told him to call Arlene Levy.
