11/27

FRIDAY 4 DECEMBER 1970

338th day - 27 days to come

Dale told me that Michael Dummett called late last night and would be here today at 10. He made it at 12:30. He returned the three games he borrowed from me last time: AUSGEWAHLTE KARTENSPIELE, BUCH DER FAMILIENSPIELE, DAS, BUCH DER SPIELE.
Gave Michael the material I reproduced for him on 11/29.
Showed Michael the material I rcd. from Don Laycock on 11/19. He was quite interested in TYZICHIA. In the second reprint Laycock gives a variation of LUCKY which a native said was from Japan. Laycock said it was ob- viously of European derivation, but Michael looked up a game called KABU in HANAFUDA THE FLOWER CARD GAME from which it undoubtedly came. This in turn came from a game KAP-O, which Michael looked up in "Culin's" GAMES OF THE ORIENT.
