Sunday 3 March 1968
First Sunday in Lent 63rd day - 303 days to come
Wrote letter to Roy Makepeace.
Finished letter to Alex Randolph.
Sent a clipping from Toys & Novelties showing a very
juvenile educational game to Harry Cunningham at 3M. [denoted as KEY-KITS]
Sent back a card to Scientific Games requesting a free
booklet on strategy and other information on CONCENSUS.
BB was at and an antique show with Marylin. She spoke to a
woman who said she had a game called
ROUND THE WORLD WITH NELLIE BLY and another one at her home.

Dana cut the 2" pegs in half for use in the peg games.
(cont. from 3/2) [3/13]
A buyer mentioned the following three games as being sim-
ilar to their SUM TIMES:- SUM FUN, THE WINNING TOUCH, SMARTY
and Bob asked me if I knew about them. I had him call me in the evening and gave him info on the first two from
the 1963 diary. The third I didn't have but I know remem-
ber seeing it- a children's arithmetic game.
Told him a little about STATEMENT. He said they are interested
in any game by Sid Sackson. They have a new girl who does
the preliminary review on all the games. Harry Cunningham has
left the game program.
Vitos Products:- SCATTER BRAIN. A plastic mat with a
center circle and scoring spaces around it (square in
sp shape). Players build a tower of different shaped
wood pieces [letter crossed out]. When it falls the player into whose scoring
spaces the blocks land received the value shown for
each piece. I mentioned that it was similar to BLOCKHEAD
and the Salesman said they had theirs first.
THE TREASURE QUEST:- Different sets of clue cards to be
hidden around the room for home "treasure hunts".
The Barrett Game Group Inc.
CABOODLE, CORNER, CORNER IV. These are games which give a
constantly changing set of prices and occasional special hap-
penings. It is not quite random but it is (I was told) pro-
grammed for 2000 hours before it repeats. "Caboodle", the
Real Estate Game ($150) seems particularly good. The infor-
mation is all on the ad clips filed in the 1968 folder.
