SATURDAY 7 OCTOBER
1967 280th day - 85 days to come
Started "Prediction" cards for EXECUTIVE DECISION.
(CONT. FROM 10/6) [10/6]
Played a 3-month game of EXECUTIVE DECISION with Alice &
Felicia. They both thought it was good, tho Felicia didn't
care for the type of game.
After Felicia left, Alice & I played ANOTHER. She loved it.
I brought MAVERICK COUNTRY [crossed out] and INVASION with me.
We will bring these to Lowe together with GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY,
AIRLINE, and PAYOFF of mine and LOA, FACTOR, & SUCCESSION.
I will go along with Alice. They will call Lowe the beginning
of next week to set up an appointment.
PAYOFF has not returned from Parker yet but we hope it
will come early next week.
VENTURE CAPITAL & FREE FOR ALL are back from X and I
took them with me. The pentabs I used for the former
are not waterproof and some of the cards smeared.
Bill Dodge who has NILE with Lowe told the girls that they wouldn't
give him a copy. He had to buy himself one.
To Macy's. Nothing there.
At Woolworth's saw:-
SPY'S A POPPIN (Transogram). An action spy game. Must rescue a
girl held captive in a house. Shoot the villain with a dart
gun, but if miss the girl goes shooting up into the air.
(Very rough idea.)
TIGHT SQUEEZE (Mattel). An imitation of the physical contact feature
of TWISTER. There are a number of pairs of belts. Couples
are set up wearing the belts and they are adjusted so there
[diagram of handcuffs]
is one handbreath (an artificial hand is included) space
left in each belt and they are locked. A spinner is
used which indicates whether the belts are to put
on from above or below. The belts are placed on the floor about
6 feet away and then players race to be the first to follow
the spinner's directions. There is a link between the two belts
which can be used or eliminated, for greater togetherness.
At Gimbel's saw:- TILE-DIAL (Roalex). This consists of 4
"sliding puzzles" mounted in a box. The puzzle is a 4 x 4
using 4 red, 4 blue, 4 yellow, and 3 green blocks. There are
a series of completed patters mounted arranged in a ring
and there is a window next to each puzzle. The ring is
turned so that a different pattern shows in each window. Players
race to match their pattern.
FIDGET DIGIT is a similar game with numbers.
LINGO-BINGO is a similar game with letters.
