player has his own idea of which and this is not devulged <br>
to the opponent until the end. When a player, in his <br>
turn, feels that the opponent has put a stone that results <br>
in an impossible pattern of letters he challenges. <br>
Winner is determined by the result of the challenge. I <br>
believe that stones can be added at the beginning, end, or <br>
middle of the line, but the order cannot be changed.
"Diplomat" - Another game with nudes on the box called  <br>
<u>ADULTERY</u>. Box sealed. So I couldn't see anything of how <br>
the game played.
"Mag-Nif" - <u>PSYC-OUT</u> a gadgetty version of <u>MARIENBAD</u>.
Skor-Mor - <u>SPOT GAME</u> - the old carnival gimmick of placing circles <br>
to cover a larger circle. (See <u>Martin Gardner</u>'s columns.) <br>
<u>MAN-KALAH</u> - Another variation. (Didn't see the details.) <br>
<u>NITTY-GRITTY</u> - Apparently a sliding block puzzle with 24  <br>
pcs. , in 3 colors, set up on a 5 x 5 board. (Didn't see the <br>
details.)
"Gametime" - <u>Bob Hallowell</u>'s new company and I met him <br>
there. He says that as soon as he gets a moment he'll come <br>
up to look at <u>EXCALIBUR</u> and anything else I have to show. <br>
He was selling <u>QUINTESSENCE</u>, a family version of the  <br>
Greco-Latinj squares. (See <u>Martin Gardner</u>'s columns.) <br>
<u>TRI TAC TOE</u> - played on a 3 x 3 x 3 board. <br>
<u>MADMAZE</u> - Getting a marble thru a 3 dimensional maze. <br>
(Filed in 1970 Ad Clips.)
"Stancraft" - Saw the samples of <u>ODD OR EVEN</u>, <u>TEMPO</u>, <br>
<u>INTERPLAY</u>, <u>CASTILLE</u> & <u>DOZO</u>. Quite attractive and the <br>
salesmen said they were doing well. <br>
Got a folder listing the 5 games. Also included were <br>
