WEDNESDAY 8 NOVEMBER 1967
312th day - 53 days to come
Was taken Fabio Coen. Discussed possible books by
me. Four possibilities : - Card Games, Board & other special equipment
games; Paper and pencil games; Solitaire games. I asked where
Alex Randolph fit in. Fabio thought that he was not much
interested in the project. I said that Alex should at least
get an agent's fee and Fabio said that was between us.
Fabio is coming Thursday, to next week, to see my collection.
Thought of 4 GAME ideas.
Each player has a suit of cards. Use them similar to
SCORE, that is each player has a hand of three cards from
which he plays, then draws another from his pile of cards.
When his pile is exhausted the dis cards are turned to form a
new drawing deck, without shuffling. Possible objective might
be a push-pull battle betwen each pair od contestants, a player
on his turn chooses his competitor.
Make a layout of the deck. Players in turn switch two cards
trying to make certain configurations - possibly the four corners
of a rectangle in the player's suit. When the two cards are switched
again - or possibly mark only one that the player chooses. Another
possibility: Players have a hand of cards. Play two and switch
those two cards. Then replace with two cards from deck.
Make a layout of the deck. Use dice for moving around, The
number on the card represents its elevation. Use much more points
on dice for up or down cliffs, etc.
Use a checkboard and chips of different colors. Place chips on
board 1 at a time. Cannot put one down next to one of the same
color, even diagonally. Have some way of limiting the colors of chips
a player has available at any time. Player loses when he can't
play a chip. Plays must be next to a chip on the board - or
maybe two.
Deposited the Playboy & Ideal checks.
Received a copy of BRIDGE WORLD magazine (why?)
Went to Jerry Fredricks house and got Sci. Am. columns
for Sept., Oct. & Nov. Gave them a copy of TWIXT in appreciation
for giving me the columns. One The Oct. column had a game
CHESKERS by Solomon Golumb. The Nov. column had a game
TRI-HEX.
