Ascension Day,
143rd day - 222 days to come
(continued from Next page)
This game is somewhat similar to my "LAST WORD".
Obviously it would be better for each player to work secretly on his own pad simultaneously, using the same letters as spun.
The rules as given were somewhat unclear.
Saw at Gimbel's
SCRIBBAGE (Lowe) 13 letter cubes with numbers on the letters - higher for hatder letters. Ordinary cross word type - scoring point value of all words formed and subtracting for letters not used. Minute glass (or 3minute)?) included.
TOSS-WORDS (Cardinal) Board with black squares similar to a cross-word puzzle but more irregular. 15 dice with letters on them. Throw dice and form words that must completely fill spaces between black spaces. (Not clear whether they must be cross-worded or can be separated.) Score for words formed according to value of letters printed on board.
MUSINGO (Mattel) BINGO type game. Individual boards for the players with free space in center & different colored musical notes in each of the other 24 spaces (about 4 or 5 different colors). Also a path and tokens for each player to be moved by throw of one die.
Some spaces on path blank. Landing there ends move. Some have [cents symbol] on them. Landing there gives gets a coin. Others have monkey. Landing there gets coin and another throw. Some have organ grinder. Landing there gives the opportunity to put a coin in an organ grinder figure, if you have a coin. The figure has a window where two colored notes are turned up (like a slot machine). Player may cover eith any space with the color of each note (two covers on a turn - unless one or both colors are completely covered). Object five in a row.
CHIT-CHAT - T.V. game with Hugh Downs name on it. Didn't see rules. (M.B)
AROUND THE WORLD - (M.B)
Quiz type with a mechanical gadget for checking answers. Board with map of world. Move along path for answering questions correctly.
