TUESDAY 6 JUNE 1967
157th day - 208 days to come
Called Arthur Amberstone. He has developed a new double-
solitaire game with the HIGH DECK. It is called
CASANOVA. It is made to be played by a girl & fellow.
Wald's new card game is called PARIS. It was
originally made for the High Deck. Each player plays with two
cards in his hand. A trick consists of one card from
each player. The winner of a trick leads to the next.
After each trick each player draws from the deck. The
high card played, regardless whether major or minor, wins the
trick. Thus a vassal beats a priest. If the second player
plays the corresponding card to the first played (no
account is made of house) it is a revolution and this
card wins. The first trick is worth 1 point, the 2nd 2, etc.
until the last which is worth 16 points.
When played with a regular deck a revolution is made
by playing a 2nd card of the same rank as the first.
There are three ways of playing.
1 - Each player has two cards in his hand at a time.
Draw after a trick. Play till 13 tricks are completed.
2 - Deal out 13 cards to each player. Play 13 tricks
with these cards. The rest of the deck is not used.
3 - Each player gets the same (by rank) 13 cards. Play
is as in the 2nd variation.
Claude called. Paul Milazzo thinks he can get 5% royalty
from Lowe for WATCH. However, he wants the first
$5000 before they start splitting. Claude, after a long
argument, agreed provided his name is on the game.
