SATURDAY 20 MAY
Ember Day
Armed Forces Day 1967 140th day - 225 days to come
Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim. A third version of 7-UP.
Bill Bentzin sent me a clipping from a small newspaper in
the midwest.
Looking at the combinations in PAYOFF and determined the
number of cards to use for different numbers of players.
Finished wring writing most of the rules.
At Wanamaker's looked at BATTA HAI (Cadaco) again,
(see the Cadaco catalog in 1967 Ad Clips). Each player has
a set of 28 dominos and 1 "doubler". One playe Each player has Each
player takes a card. (For more variaty the cards are
printed on both sides.) One player acts as a caller but
he also plays in the game. He first draws one domino
which is then turned over and placed in the center, as
[diagram drawn to left of next text block]
shown. Each domino has four numbers on the
back which set the numbers necessary
in the four adjacent squares. Each plaer
sets the same domino in the center of his
board. The caller pulls dominos one at a
time and each player uses the same dom-
inos. The dominos can be arranged, and rearranged, at will
as long as they cover corresponding numbers. The
"doubler" can be used to repeat any previously called
domino, including the center domino. First to completely
cover his card, calls "Batta Hai" and wins.
This game, they saw, was originally a gambling game
in Las Vegas and has been revised for home use.
In Wanamaker's saw a book, FUN FOR ALL. Just party
games and word puzzles. It might be a good name
to replace my FREE FOR ALL which BB, Claude, & Anne
say sounds too much like a juvenile action game.
At cross country bought 14 sheets of the thin colored
cardboard, also 9 speedball pens.
At toy store in Cross County saw CHOP SUEY. There is a
bowl which rotates. There are different shaped and
colored pieces put in the bowl. Also from one to four sticks
can be placed at the top of the bowl to make it mour

difficult. Players fish out pcs. using chop sticks
as long as the bowl turns. Count score when bowl
stops. A booklet called "Menu" gives the scores of
the different pcs. & combinations. (see 7/10)
