Thursday 14 March 1968
74th day - 292 days to come
Discovered that I took Mr. Koch's hat yesterday by mistake. Called up
and then brought it to him.
Looked in @ [at] Western Printing - Whitman. They didn't have FOCUS.
They have two new games CLUCK-A-GLUCK. A plastic board
is placed on the floor. Cards are placed in spaces on the
board. Players use a suction cup mounted on a stick to get cards
in certain sets. DARK SHADOWS. Only the box was there.
It mentions mazes & Intrigue (or something like that).
At Transogram saw they had a game SCORE-4 which had a
picture of wood rods with pieces that fit over them.
Were too busy to take care of me.
Stopped at M.B. but Mel Taft wasn't there. Couldn't get in.
[To the left of the following paragraph is drawn a 5x5 grid with 12 squares having a diamond shape drawn in, likely denoting cut-outs, the rest of the squares with various shading or dots to show different colors.]
Thinking of new ideas for SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS. Have 12
cutouts in which squares, the remain-
ing 13 squares are colored in 4 colors.
There are also a number of base
cards with all 25 squares colored.
Play can be in any of the ways pre-
viously noted. Scoring is based on the
colors showing thru the cutouts. For
over four of a color:- for first, +2
for second, +3 for 3rd, etc. (i.e. 5 -> 1pt,
6 -> 3 pts, 7 ->6 pts, etc.). For getting the
same number of each showing color
->10 pots. (All the same color also scores this.)
Either an odd or an even amount of all colors showing
->5 pts. Two colors with same amount ->2 pts. 3 colors with
same amount ->3 pts. 4 colors with same amount -> 4 points.
These various scores are all additive. Another possibility is
to have a "favored" color which counts double and an "un-
favored" color which loses one point for each showing (even
tho it also can score + for more than 4.).
Thought of an idea for a promotional GAME. Customers
get a piece of a jigsaw. When they can fit 9 of them
together as shown they win. Each piece has
a $ [dollar] amount on it. The player collects the
highest value of the pieces used.
[To the left of the above paragraph a 3x3 piece puzzle outline is drawn]
The bill for the Caddylak tape came.
Spoke to Claude and told him about Toy Fair and the
possibility of BIG FUNERAL being taken.
