1966
353rd day - 12 days to come
Gave Ken Hiller in our office a FOCUS booklet.
Spoke to Arthur. He saw the ACQUIRE ad in the Times (12/9). On the same day he saw it in another paper, possibly the News but he is not sure. I was annoyed about this but he wouldn't have understood if I told him.
In a letter from Walt there was a GAME idea for a card word game. Arthur will wake up the equipment and play around with it.
To Gimbels: -Nothing. To Woolworth: -Looked at rules for TROKE (At home checked my copy of [ineligible crossed out word] TROQUE and the new rules for TROKE are included - having copied them from Bob Abbot's set.)
At Macy's saw: - SPIN OUT which is a new name for FORMULA - 1. BOX - BINGO - played with two dice and nine numbers (1 to 9) which have sliding covers. Throw the two dice and cover 1 or 2 numbers totaling to the throw. When all numbers left are under (I think) 6, throw 1 die, object to have least total uncovered. SEDUCTION - a wild board game with no-holds-barred sex 4 play, 2 men & 2 women. The rules were missing on the two sets there so I couldn't buy it. 4 play, 2 men & 2 women and the markers are numbered from 1 to 4. Apparently each member of a sex is pursued by one member and pursues one member of the opposite sex.
