SATURDAY 6 MAY
1967 126th day - 239 days to come
Called Bob Abel. He will call me back tomorrow.
Did some straightening up in game room.
BB and I to Claude's in evening. BB, I, Anne, and one of the kids
played his TV mystery GAME while Claude gave us the clues.
Each player is given an identity and located in a different
tavern. Players, after they solve a tangled 5-letter word,
have reached a vault where they get information about
the player of their choice by pushing a button. (We played
by simply taking turns in asking for a piece of information.)
Once a player gets to the vault he receives all the information
that has been given out so far. Information is in the form of a
statement such as:- "The 'invisible man' is in either the 'golden tablet'
or the 'winter table palace'." "The man in the 'winter palace' must kill
either the 'diamond cutter' or the 'sailor.'" "The 'diamond cutter' must
kill either the man in the 'royal hind' or the 'golden tablet'." "Etc." We
played 'till we figured out who and where everyone was, and rather
lost sight of the object of eliminating the others as in the original
KNIFE YOUR BUDDY. Played two games.
Played Claude's EGGHEAD POKER. He had it played with the player's
putting their eggs in their scratchers one at a time and then bringing
them onto the board, that is they bring one egg [crossed out] onto the board
at a time per player all starting together. This gave them the op-
portunity of putting the egg directly into the hole they wanted. I
suggested, instead, that they be placed on the corner opposite from
the player. This was a definite improvement.
Claude told me of an improvement in his game PATH LOGICAL,
instead of players taking turns extending a single word, they
each build there on their own word and attempt to block
their opponent's.
Claude gave me a copy of the NEWLYWED GAME, also a set of
colored pentals.
Felicia called while I was out. Had a question about a game.
