FRIDAY 7 APRIL
1967 97th day - 268 days to come
Called Alice to check on tonight. On. MAVERICK COUNTY came back
with just a letter that it was coming back. No reason why.
On the box was taped the note from the initial reviewer. She
started it-- "This is really terrific - - - ".
They say that there should be a decision on FREE FOR ALL in
about 2 to 3 weeks.
After work to I-S. Alice & Felicia there. Pearl and Larry Winters
came shortly after. We saw and discussed their new game
WHAT'S HAPPENING? This is not really a game but rather a
party pastime. There is a deck of about cards, on each one is
printed a story - such as a man leaves (or woman) leaves a party
after drinking. He finds he has locked the car door with the keys
inside. He tried to pry open the window when a policeman
walks up. He tries to explain but the policeman asks to see his
license, and this too is in the car.
There should be at least 8 people playing and there is not upper limit.
They divide into two teams, which don't have to be equal. One
team is dealt 4 cars. They pick the one they like best and then
one of the team is chosen to act out the story. The other
team is out of the room while this goes on. Then the first one comes
in and sees the story acted out. The first than acts it out for the
second. The 2nd for the 3rd, Etc. After it is acted thru the entire
team, they say what they think they were doing. There is no scoring.
Felicia told me that she might be doing an article on me soon
but won't tell me about it until it's more definite.
Took MAVERICK COUNTRY home to check the parts.
Claude called before I got home. Called him later. Talked about
Fay mainly. He called Arthur and Wald is back in town. Nothing
definite yet with the HIGH DECK.
Thinking about a game theory game I was thinking about
in 1965 - called COALITIONS.
Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim. Had a new version of 7UP and,
for a change, the rules were presented pretty coherently and
completely.
