TUESDAY 2 MAY 1967
Rogation Day
122nd day - 243 days to come
Felicia called. From a private source she learned that
Springbok Puzzles was being bought by Hallmark.
Worked out new arrangement of letters in PAYOFF.
In evening played a few games of FOCUS with myself,
having the 2nd player mimic the 1st and looking for an
opportunity to gain an advantage. The 2nd player can
w win if the first is careless. However I think that if
the first player is careful to completely disengage he
can keep the 2nd from gaining any advantage.
(cont. from 5/3) [5/4]
game; regular KEYNOTE, the purpose of which is to build all the
octaves on the playing mats in correct sequence starting with
the "C" cards; KEYNOTE RUMMY, played as ordinary rummy with note
sequences; KEYNOTE SOLITAIRE; and BLINKO KEYNOTE, designed for
a party group to hilariously teach one the notes - - and with great fun.
BB got a call from Fay, in answer to mine during the day. The
letter I sent her was fine.
The check for ACQUIRE came.
[Started 5/4]
(cont from 5/5) [5/5]
HOODWINK (Lowe) - Another version of LIAR'S DICE.
TIDDLE POKER - a layout with about 25 cards. Four raised
felt pads at one end for shooting winks onto the
layout.
At Gimbel's saw RACK-O. The scoring has been jazzed
up somewhat. Added the changes to my set.
Further info. on WHEEL & DEAL. There is a series of airline
spaces and another of TV Channel spaces. A player owning
1 collects the face value. If he owns more than 1 of a series
he collects the total face value of all of them each time
any one of them is landed upon.
Sent a check to Alice for her cut on ACQUIRE.
