SATURDAY 11 NOVEMBER
Veterans' Day 1967 315th day - 50 days to come
Played THRUST with BB. Played the same as last night with the
objective changed. First to advance 5 spaces into the
opponent's territory on one column wins. With the limitation
of "the action", once a player has a position in a column
he can move right in and win. If there are empty spaces
on the enemy end of a column, the player's pile can
be moved there regardless of its number.
In evening played with Dana eliminating "the action".
This played quite well.
Blocked out letters to J.H. Morgan (3M - with filled out form)
& Dr. Atwater (see 10/30/67).
Finished the cards for ANOTHER.
(cont. from 11/10) [11/10]
plays first, wins his last two pcs. are left on the board
to start the next game and he plays red again. If the
white player wins, the plays the red pcs. in the next game
and all pcs. are removed from the board.
Arthur brought me a fancy board for playing THREE.
Claude saw an article in the current issue of Cavalier about
Mensa which mentions Bob Abbott and WHAT'S THAT ON MY HEAD?.
Claude borrowed two books:- MACHINES, MUSIC AND PUZZLES
& MATHEMATICS AND THE IMAGINATION. He also bor-
rowed THE NEWLYWED'S GAME. I looked at it and it is a
set of questions (various sets in a book). The question
is read - such as "What color panties is your wife
wearing?". The man writes an answer on a magic slate
after which the wife answers. If the man's answer
is correct he gets money. Most money at end wins.
Another short letter from Jerry D'Arcey. He is leaving
for New York Monday.
Rcd. the 3M form from Alice.
