SUNDAY 28 FEBRUARY 1971
First Sunday in Lent
59th day - 306 days to come
Thought of the following idea for the ending of PLANES. Any
number plane can be cleared, but if less than 5 deduct
1 point from the score for each tile under 5 in the plane,
Another possible idea to alter who would be first in
the end period. Count the number of tiles on the boards
and "count potatos" starting with player whose turn it
normally would be. (Probably only suitable as optional for
advanced players.)
Felicia called. TIMES had an ad for a Mattel game BOUNDARY.
Bought the Times and saw clipping ad. Also took
clipping on the Fair.
Finished the model for WILD WOOD PILE.
Jerry D'Arcey called. Met him at 205th St. subway and here
for supper. He doesn't have any games to show this year -
he is manufacturing non-shatterable "Mad Clatters", a
toy with two balls on a string.
Jerry told me that he heard that Hallmark was going into
games and I told him that was X and I have 9
things with them.
Frank Thibault has placed an action type GAME with Lakeside.
It consists of a large flat wheel mounted vertically
with a hollow between two player plates. Each player has a
separate opening at the top thru which marbles are entered.
Deflectors can cause them to move out to the edge or to stay
towards the center. Object is to try and keep them towards
center (tho it is maily luck) so that the wheel tilts towards
the opponent's side, spilling his marbles. (Fairly complete
idea, I think.)
I asked Jerry to remind Frank to send me CONTIGO.
Jerry is not submitting anything to Hallmark because they take
too long. He took COMMODITY away from Samsonite because
they wanted to hold it till next year. He'll talk to his
accountant & so will I.
Showed WILD WOOD PILE to Jerry. He didn't spend much time on
it but liked it. Suggested less pieces, so that they can be
thicker.
