Monday 26 August 1963
238th day - 127 days to come
At Rappaport's saw ASTRO-JET. Seems to be just about the same as PARCHEESI with the same short cuts. (See Playthings 3/6).
At F.A.O Schwartz bought HI - FI. (Filed - 570)
Saw two S & R games:------(see 1963 ad clippings).
CROSSROADS: - Will buy this.
INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS : - map of U.S with interstate highways.
Destination cards. Tokens to move with spinner. You may move more than number spun if wish to take a chance. Next player may spin for a law enforcement badge. Do this blind & may bluff if don't spin one. players are fined for being caught speeding or for being caught bluffing. A turn can be spinning for a move, for a badge, or for a facility (motel, etc.). When players land on a facility they must pay the owner. Rewards for reaching destinations. Most money wins. (Rough idea.)
Went Saw THE WINNING TOUCH (Education is fun co. - Approx. Name)
[DIAGRAM OF AN 11 x 11 GRID. THE NUMBERS 1-12 RUN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ACROSS THE TOP AND FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ALONG THE LEFT EDGE. (Transcriber note: Not sure if SS meant for it to be an 11 x 11 grid or a 12 x 12 grid which was misdrawn. The number one is actually at the exact corner and does not correlate with a row or column.)]
Layout as shown. 121 number tiles that would fill in the spaces to make a multiplication table. 4 racks, 11 blank tiles.
Each player takes 15 tiles (or is it 12). first player places a tile in any correct space on the layout. Players continue in turn with the added provision that a new tile must "touch" a played one, diagonally acceptable.
If a player cannot play to[?] loses his turn & takes a tile. First to play out wins.
Went to F.A.O. Schwartz warehouse to see Sally Erath's collection of old games.
Bought BASE BALL PLAYING CARDS - (Filed - 311)
Saw ROBINSON CRUSOE - Old Parker Bros. game.
Special cards including a "Robinson Crusoe", a "Man Friday" & a "Rescue Ship" card, and about 30 paired cards.
Play is similar to OLD MAID. A player wins by holding the 3 special cards in his hand at one time. If a player by playing cards, reduces his hand to zero he is out (How can the others tell?)
