THURSDAY 8 JUNE 1967
159th day - 206 days to come
Called Jules Cooper. There is a delay in CASE OF THE
ELUSIVE ASSASSIN and it will be at least a month
and a half till they get the series out. Actually the
delay is in their game, not mine. When they are
ready I will definately get copies.
To Alice & Felicia at their apartment. Gave Alice a
TAKE-A-NUMBER game. We played a few hands for
her to get the scoring.
Tried to discuss where to send games but didn't get very far.
Will send PAYOFF to MB if X doesn't take it.
Will send INFINITE PLANE to Parker, tho I am not very hopeful.
Alice is going for a two week vacation and we'll hold off till she
gets back.
Picked up $187.50 check for advance royalty on CARRE.
Bill Caruson told Alice to write to him and ask for samples
of SIT DOWN AND THINK in November.
Went to Brentano's.
Bought THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY GAME. ($10)
Saw JUTLAND (A.H.) Just glances at it since I'll eventually buy it.
WORD OUT (M.B.) There is cardboard top piece with sliding
windows. There are a number of cardboard pieces
which are used, one for a game, under the top
piece. Next to most of the windows there are
words. One of the windows id marked "1st letter",
another "2nd letter", another "last letter". Object is
to guess the word on the card used. If a window
with a word is opened, the number of letters common
to the word shown and the word to be guessed is
given. 1st letter window gives the first letter in the
word to be guessed. There are points lost for opening
windows, the first letter being more than for letters
in common, etc. Guessing word with least points
is the object. (Fairly complete rules.)
TWISTER (M.B.) Finally read the rules. Players start
with their two feet in circles near the ends
(and edges if 3 or four are playing). The referee
spins a dial which gives one of the four limbs and
a color. The players must mus move that limb to
a color of 1 circle of that color. They may temporarilly
lift a limb to pass another under. When a
player cannot make a required shift or if a knee
or elbow touches the floor they are out.
If only two players are available they eliminate
the spinner and take turns calling the next limb
and color.
Claude called. Fay wants to give Sue Murphy 5% of our share.
Also she is annoyed at BB for not finishing the typing.
