TUESDAY 20 JUNE
1967 171st day - 194 days to come
Call Bill Bentzin. He didn't get my clippings. When in St. Paul because
Dick Joyce's secretary was sick. Dick Joyce told him that she is
not reproducing them. Bill said he'd try again to get me a copy
of the magazine (see 5/15).
He will send me imperfect copies of THINKING MAN'S GOLF and
WIN, PLACE, AND SHOW since they seem to be stingy with the
corrected ones.
The registered letter with the PAYOFF rules came.
Two short telephone calls from Fay with questions on
TREASURE HUNT.
(cont. from 6/19) [6/19]
This can be played by from 2 to 4 players. There are
4 layouts, each one having a single card space at the apex
and three rows of 4 lined with the single card. See diagram.
[diagram includes 13 cards in a trident shape, with base card labeled "key"]
A 52 card deck is used. A card is dealt
face up into each player's "key" space.
There is then a round of betting as in
stud. Each player is then dealt 4 cars.
Each player chooses three of these and
place them face down in the three spaces
next to the "key" space. Another three cards
are dealt to each player which, together with
the one remaining from before, make 4, 3, of these are placed
face up in the next three space. Then there is another
round of betting. Another 3 cards are dealt and the players
place 3 cards face down in the fourth spaces. Then a
final 2 cards are dealt to each and three cards are
placed up in the last spaces. Another round of betting.
Then each player removes two lines of 4 cards, leaving the
hand he wants to stay with. A final round of betting.
Claude suggested that if we both become very suc-
cessful at selling games that we work out an agreement
where if either of us make more than a certain amount
in a year, we give the excess to the other for advice given
in preparing the games. I agreed to discuss it when
we really get going.
