TUESDAY 5 NOVEMBER
Election Day 1968 310th day - 56 days to come
Worked out a complete game of CROSSINGS.
BB typed the new material on SPELLBINDER and the letter to Bob Claude.
Lilian Barasch told me that she has been seeing a game advertised on
TV a lot. Finally determined that it was AVANTÉ.
(cont. from 11/19) [11/19]

more may be placed. Only a A player
may not place a piece in his op-
ponent's terminal row, and no player
may place a piece in a corner space.
No player may have more then 2
pieces connected together into a group,
orthogonally or vert diagonally. (This is
the rule that makes the game.)
Played a number of games by my-
self and it seems to come to a def-
inite end. Possibly with more skillful
play a draw may be possible. It may be desireable to
limit the pcs. to (say) 10 and then move them. The
game can also be played with pencil and paper.
Claude here in the evening going thru the material I have
of his in the archives. There weren't as many card games as
we both had thought there were, but he still said I should
use ROBBIN' THE HOOD. Also gave him the scoring for
SHADY LADIES although I didn't have the rules. Should be
easy to reconstruct.
Claude returned THE PLAY OF MAN which he had borrowed.
Gave me a copy of THE COMPLEAT STRATEGYST since he bought
a copy of the new edition.
Rcd. a copy of Jim Dunnigan's game WALL STREET. It
doesn't look too interesting. He called in evening to see if
Phil had called me. No. Jim will call me at work Friday.
There was an ad for the 3M bookshelf and sports lines
in the November December of "Better Homes and Gardens".
(Filed in "1968 Ad Clips" folder.)
Claude had an idea for a GAME, a POKER variation. 25 cards
are layed out face up. Each player secretly writes down
5 of these cards. Then players in turn choose a card from
the layout based on one of the cards they have written down,
crossing it off. The [crossed out] written down card allows choosing a
card of either the same suit or same denomination. High
poker hand wins.
