Rc'd. 1 FOCUS order & letter from Warren Buell.
Played LIFE ELECTION SPECIAL with BB. "Potential Strength Cards" work fine.
Bob Abbott & Helen over for supper. Played Helen's CUBE GAME. A large cube is constructed with erector set parts. One player uses silver paper clips, the other brass. The object is for each player to run a chain of paper clips across a long diagonal - different for each player. First to do so wins. The loose ends are fastened with rubber bands to keep them taut in the direction needed. A player in his turn can pin his chain to any clip of the player's color or to an edge - provided they reach. A player's own chain can only be attached to an edge leaving two unconnected clips in between. The game tends to be long and repetitious.
Played ACQUIRE to test the new price & bonus schedule. It doesn't harm the game. Helen won.
Decided on the name "New York Game Associates" for our group.
