SATURDAY 20 APRIL 1968
111th day - 255th day to come
In Nov. 1, 1967 Toys & Novelties read article about E.S.R. They have
merged with Edu - U - Cards [sic Ed-U-Cards] and having connections with
computer operations. They seem to be an up & coming
company. Mel Meyer is their Sales Representative.
Came up with two possible names as a replacement for
TAKE A NUMBER; TANTALIZING TOTALS, TOTAL MADNESS.
Looked at the rules and equipment I have for myself for
PAYOFF and EXECUTIVE DECISION. Have the rules and the
coalition cards for the former. Have the rules for the
latter but no record of the exact setup of the "market
prediction" cards. I do have the setup I used for making
up the cards by random combining.
Finally decided on the name TOTALLY -- for TAKE A NUMBER.
Played PATTERNS II with BB, Phil, & Annette. It played very, very
well. I won & Annette was second. To avoid possibility of errors
decided to change the 4 symbols to the following : - [Circle, +, Star, 3 dots]
Played TOTALLY -- and again it played well.
Played two games of MUSKETEERS with Phil. Seems quite interesting.
During day made up a set of wood cubes for a TOTALLY -- set for myself.
