THURSDAY 2 NOVEMBER
All Souls' Day 1967 306th day - 59 days to come
Called Alice & my check had reached her. She is going to
call Championship Games & try to set up a meeting
for next week.
Check for $250 came from PLAYBOY. Had the release stamp
on the back.
Met Claude and Anne. Claude told me of an ad by Parker
Bros. in Toys & Novelties in which they ask for submittion
of party type games.
Looked at Stern's and saw:-
SPACE RACE :- Board game. Move around spaces along the
edge of the board getting the proper cards for
building and launching at least one rocket. The center
of the board has multiple paths thru the planets. After
launching a ship or ships move thru these paths collecting
points. When get a certain set number, must return
a rocket to "splash down". First to do this wins.
There are two dice, one white & one red. Before launch-
ing a rocket only the white is used. After launching both
are used and the white controls movement on the edge
and the red movement in the center. (Rough idea.)
FOURS:- Another version of 3-dimensional TIC-TAC-TOE.
At Brentano's saw a book:- STOCK MARKET GAMES PEOPLE
PLAY TO WIN by C.M. Flumiani. They are not actually
games, but methods of checking stocks looking for a
good bargain, etc.
In a book by Edward de Bono (?) on more effective
thinking he has a game called THE L GAME. There is
an address given for getting a set for
$1.25. Claude copied it.
[diagram of 4 x 4 grid, with one green "L" shape and one red "L" shape. One circle in each the top right and bottom left squares.]
The board and pieces are as shown.
Players in turn must move their "L" pc.
so that it cover at least one different
space (it is reversable). Then he may move
one of the "neutral" round pcs. to any
empty space. Continue until a player cannot
make any move with his "L", when he loses.
Bought CARD GAMES FOR ONE by George F. Hervey. Contains
some previously unpublished SOLITAIREs.
At Marboro bought THE WORLD OF LAWS & THE WORLD OF CHANCE
& MACHINES, MUSIC AND PUZZLES both edited by James R. Newman.
Claude & I played his game CAPER which is a combination
of ANOTHER and DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
There is a 5 x 5 board. A colored square pc. is placed in
the center square. Each player has 12 square (cont. on 11/3)
