MONDAY 7 AUGUST
1967 219th day - 146 days to come
In Montreal saw MISTER X. From France - in French. One player
is the gangster - Mr. X - and gets 11 tokens which have
a hollow in the bottom. He placed an identification under one
identifying it as Mr. X, the others being his henchmen.
2, 3, or 4 others play. They have police cards which move
around the city questioning gangsters (the 11 are
scattered around the city at the start and move as
the game progresses). Object is to find Mr. X. The police
do not have enough questions to question all the gangsters. If
Mr. X is not found before the questions are exhausted, the
gangster wins. If he is located the game goes into another
phase where the police try to be the first to catch him.
The Mr. X can use his henchmen to delay the police. If he
can get out of town (I think) before being caught, he
wins. (Very rough idea.)
Saw MINI-BOWLING. Another card bowling game. When played each
for himself they have a hand of cards. On each frame they
play one card from their hand and one from the deck (which first?).
If two go over 10, gutter ball. There is a partnership
version where players bid for right to name trump (there are
4 colors). Bids are made in numbers of won frames. The
frame is played by each player playing a card. Sum of the
partners cards determine the score. There are 55 cards
(I think). The rules very very unclear so this is only a
rough idea.
BB & I played VENTURE CAPITAL.
