FRIDAY 31 MARCH
1967 90th day - 275 days to come
Called Jules Cooper. He was busy & supposed to call back. He didn't.
Alice called. Wanted the details of Jerry D'Arcey's sale of Co COUP D'ÉTAT
to Parker to use in her report to X. I didn't think it right to give
the details, but we agreed that she would say that Parker bought the
game in a big hurry and gave a very substantial advance. We
will get together next Friday to play Larry's GAME.
At University Pl. book store spoke to Mr. Goldwasser. He is not doing
much with games any more. He had a booklet of ads and
mentions about TRI-KING for $1 which I considered getting, but
decided not to take up the room.
At Brentano's bought TUMBLE NUMBLE. Looked at STOCK MARKET
again (see 3/24). The quotations are printed on the cylinder. The names
of the stocks and the arrow is on a sliding card which can
be moved up or down to 5 different positions. At the start it
is in the center (#3) position and the cylinder is turned, with a
hand over it, to a starting position. Then it is moved one space in
either clockwise or counterclockwise direction - once started continue
for game. When the re arrow points at a red space line on the cylinder,
a "market analysis" card is drawn which gives events, including moving
the sliding panel up or down. When a red number comes up, all players
holding that stock get a dividend. There is a card giving instruc-
tions for figuring the dividend. A player owning all 5 of a stock
gets double dividends. When a white number in a red background
comes up, each player owning that stock draw "personal trouble" cards
which call for payments, etc.
At Marboro bought POINT COUNT CHESS. Looked for the following
books which had been advertised in Times. They didn't have them.
MAN, PLAY, AND GAMES :- By Roger Caillois. Provocative new theory of play and games, studied under the headings: competition, chance, stimu-lation, and vertigo - an important study of man and his many roles in games as Total Activity by a leading French sociologist. Orig. $5.00. Only $1.98.
GAMES, ANYONE? - A witty collection of Adult Games. By Robert Thomsen; Illus. by Tomi Ungerer. Word games, brainteasers, action games, memory-testers, anagrams - a mixed bag of fun games for both solitary and party entertainment. Orig. $3.95. Only $1.49.
The game 23 SKID-DOO came. Not much.
