Friday 12 April 1963,
Good Friday,
102nd day - 263 days to come
At Gimbel's saw:
LAST ONE IN: - A simple "Nim" game with pencil and paper.
[DIAGRAM OF SQUARES ARRANGED IN
A STACK 4 ROWS HIGH WITH 7 AT BOTTOM,
THEN 5, THEN 3, THEN 1 AT THE TOP]
SKIX : - Combination game set - 6 games - by Emenee.
THE NURSES : - by Ideal. 4 concentric squares to be traversed - representing the four years of nursing school.
At Macy's saw:
HAUL THE FREIGHT : - by Bar-Zim (tied in with Yale transport). Board with paths leaving New York & traveling to various cities in U.S. Eastern part of country shaded gray - remainder white.
There are some 30 - 40 destination cities and there is a spinner with a number for each. Players spin to get their destination. If spin a number taken already take the next in clockwise order.
There is a reward connected with each destination.
In addition there are spaces for drawing luck cards (more lost than won - I believe) to win or lose money.
There are also spaces (including destination cities other than the one headed for) which allow purchase of stock at par value. At the end of the game the stock is worth double par value. If must sell to raise money - sell at half price. There is a limited number of stocks for mov and when they are gone you can try to buy shares you are entitled to from another player at a mutually agreeable price.
Each time you land on a stock purchase space may buy 1 - 10 shares.
When moving a player uses two dice unless, in the eastern (gray) area, when use only one die. When throw too many to reach destination move just one space & continue one space at a time until reach destination. After reaching destination return to New York by throw of dice (or die). When reach spin a new destination. If reach by even throw can choose a destination instead of spinning.
When all destinations have been reached & returned - cash in stock - and player with most money wins.
Bob & Ruth Abbott over. Played
DATA - Trying new ideas. Each player chooses a path dat field to try for & one to avoid. Collects or pays chips to player processed by his success or failure. Also had a master card in each field which when gained thru processing could be put down with others of that field &
