THURSDAY 27 JUNE
1968 179th day - 187 days to come
Rcd. a thank you letter from John Geiger for his visit.
At F.A.O. Schwartz in Westchester saw:-
ROLAIRE :- An action game of rolling balls into slots and
betting on their destination. (Didn't get any of the details.)
SMARTY :- A children's bingo type game based on the
answer to simple operations.
BATAILLE STRATEGIQUE :- (A French import). There is a vertical
board with a grid map on each side showing land and sea spaces
and two objective spaces, one close to each end
and accessible from both land and sea. Each player
has land and sea pieces which stick on the
board by magnets. (Possibly there are also airplanes.)
Players in turn move a piece up to 4 spaces in
a straight line; including diagonally. (Don't know how
the pcs. start.) When a piece being moved moves
into a space in which the opponent opposite has a piece,
this piece is knocked off by opposite polarity. The pc.
moving must stop when it captures (I think this is true).
Object to occuppy the oponent's objective space.
(Fairly rough idea.)
INSTANT FUN :- sets of question and answer cards which
are used as a party amusement.
Made a set of pieces for FITTING AND PROPER using transparent
plastic. They looked good.
Looked at my existing rules for VENTURE CAPITAL and
started thinking of possible changes.
