WEDNESDAY 15 NOVEMBER
1967 319th day - 46 days to come
Sent away for VENTURE using a Shapiro Associates
envelope.
Claude called. He saw the following game [crossed out] advertised
in the Wall St. Journal. It seems to have a lot of
equipment and they say it is a game of skill:-
THE CREDIBILITY GAP GAME } $5.95 + $0.55 mailing
Amherst Games
Box 5, South Pleasant St.
Amherst, Massachusetts 01002
He also mentioned the INSTANT FUN ad and saw
Scarne's CHALLENGE for 50¢. I already have it.
Played OSMOSIS with BB & Dana. When 3 play use the
Ace down thru 7 in 3 suits. 8 cards are dealt to each.
The first player leads a card to the player on his left.
That player must do one of 3 things:- Play a card of the
same suit which is higher. Play the 7 of the suit
or a card in sequence with the 7 (showing the lower ones
to prove the sequence.) Play any 2 other cards.
The played cards are switched between the players and
placed face up in front of them. The player played to
then plays to the player on his left. Etc.
Leads must be from the hand but answering plays can
be from either the hand, or the table, or both. As soon as
a player plays the last card from his hand he immediately
picks up all the cards on the table before him as a new
hand.
When a player, at picking up, finds he has only 4 or less
cards remaining he loses and the other players each re-
ceive a score of the number of cards they have in their
hand and on the table. When a player, at picking up, finds
he has 11 or more cards he wins and only he scores the
number of cards he has.
Jerry D'Arcey called. Will get together for lunch tomor-
row, since he is leaving Friday afternoon and I am busy
tomorrow night.
