FRIDAY 26 DECEMBER 1969
St. Stephen
Washington Crossed the Delaware 1776
360th day - 5 days to come
Did some filing including the following into the 1969 ad clips:
RIDERS UP, SUDDEN DEATH FOOTBALL, GROUP THERAPY, VENTURE, ARMCHAIR GOLF DICE, NEMO, NORTHWEST PASSAGE.
Wrote an X'Mas card with a short note to Bob Lauzon, the NOSTMASTER.
Dad called with some errors he found in AGOG.
Pg. 98 - Line 13 & 14 "subsequent plays - - -."
Pg. 98 - Line 22 & 23 extra "one."
Pg. 116 - Line 11 - "it's."
Pg. 150 - X missing in diagram.
He went carefully thru the whole book.
Played PROPERTY with Dana & BB. Played well. I won.
Called Jim Dunnigan. He still hasn't found out if he has a copy of DYNASTY. He'll check and try to let me know tomorrow.
In card to Bob Lauzon told him I got two copies of NOST-ALGIA #116 and didn't get #115. Asked if I could swap.
(cont. from 12/25) [12/31]
very much like an indefinite Amberstone game.) Filed a descriptive sheet I got at Brentano's and two different ads in the "Board Game" folder.
At Brentano's saw MAGNA-WORD-GAME (Schak Schackman). There is a 6X6 quadrille of vinyl and selection of vinyl letter squares. It is a solitaire of making words horizontally & vertically. The scores are 6 long - 20 points; 5 long - 10 points; 4 long - 5 points; 3 long - 2 points. (I think this is it.) No restrictions at all about which letters can be used.
Looked at JOTTO again. Next to the probe word spaces there is a descending number of points. The player scores the number next to the probe with which he finally guesses the other player's word. He also scores 1 point for each letter he contacted in a probe word "jot." If the probe word has all 5 letters the same, but in another order, each "jot" counts 2, or a total of ten. The opponent scores for his "jots" only. Play to a given total. (Something like 250.)
[table on left side of page showing rows and columns of squares.]
The rules allow target words and probe words with duplicate letters. With a double letter in the target you need a double letter (the same of course) in the probe word to get two "jots."
The rules also suggest using 6 letter words for a more skillful
