TUESDAY 18 OCTOBER
St. Luke Evangelist
Alaska Day (Alaska) 1966 291st day - 74 days to come
Felicia called. The check for the second FOCUS run
came.
An inventor brought them a game called ANALYSIS. Felicia
says it is a board game which is a lot of fun and
is different. Alice says there is not skill involved.
At present it is at both Milton Bradley and S&R.
They had him take his copy with him until there is
some result from these to [crossed out] companies, or lack of
results.
In October Playthings saw that Jules Cooper is now
head of development for Ideal. Think I'll contact him
about DATA PROCESSING.
Thinking of another checker board GAME. Use 12 black & 12 red
checkers. Put them at random on a 6 x 4 area of a board.
Player 1 takes off a row of as many of the same color as
he wishes. A row may be orthagonal or diagonal but they must
be continuous. If the 1st player takes an odd number the next
player must take a row of the same color. If an even number
he must take a row of another color. Etc. If a player is sup-
posed to take a color that no longer is on the board, he loses
his turn and the other player can then take a row. The player
with the most pcs. scores the total of his pcs. In case of 12-12
tie the 2nd player scores 12. (It might be a good idea to have
one color worth more than the other.)
Claude called. Paul Milazzo is definitely going ahead with
BIG FUNERAL. Claude met the man who may finance the
company and they seemed to hit it off well. Paul wants
Claude to work full time for him as a development manager. I
felt a little left out. They are talking of doing all of
Claude's games.
