SATURDAY 15 JULY
St. Swithin's Day 1967 196th day - 169 days to come
(cont. from 7/13) [7/14]
Claude had a pencil & paper GAME also based on topol-
ogy. The layout is as follows, with different arrangement
of the numbers:
[diagram of two rows of six triangles each; first row labeled: 4, 10, 1, 3, 9, 6; second row labeled: 8, 2, 7, 11, 5, 12]
Each player in turn connects
two numbers that add up to a
number divisible by 4 (2, 3, or
5) could be used. A line cannot
be crossed. The last to connect
numbers wins. (It was over
very quickly. Later I played
around with the idea of having
the numbers each by themselves
but this did not work out very well either.
At Cadaco, Dan Monihan told me that SEVEN SEAS and
NIK-NAK NUMBERS were invented by the same po man. I
told him that I thought Seven Seas was one of the best
trading games ever. He agreed. Unfortunately it has been
discontinued. He thinks the packaging was at fault. Nik-
Nak Numbers is not going very well and he thinks it is priced
a dollar too high.
