THURSDAY 19 OCTOBER 1967
First Day of Tabernacles - Succoth
292nd day - 73 days to come
Called Mike Laurence about the SCORE check. He said to return
it to him and he'd see what he could do. However,
he didn't think there was much chance of it ever being used.
Thinking of ideas for a TEN LITTLE INDIANS game of my own,
based on the idea of clue cards with conditional statements.
Played 500 RUMMY at my father's. Called Arthur where Claude
was visiting. They were going to play TEN LITTLE INDIANS. Then
the Amberstone's BLACK LOTUS. This consists of throwing a
set of white, red, and green toothpicks on a black board.
Each player mentally decides which toothpick he wishes to remain
for last. Then players remove one toothpick at a time.
If a player's toothpick is last, he wins. If both pick the
same, it is a tie. (What happens if both are taken off before
the end? A scoring system could be worked out such as giving
a player 10 points if his toothpick remains 'till the end and
subtract 1 point for each remaining toothpick when the ssecond
player's toothpick is removed.)
(There doesn't seem to be much of a game, tho it is
probably attractive.)
Brought SCORE check to office and made a copy of it.
