TUESDAY 5 OCTOBER
1971 278th day - 87 days to come
Rcd. 1 answer to SLEUTH problem.
Rcd. ads from Dover Books. One was for
THE UNKNOWN LEWIS CARROLL which I determined was
the same as DIVERSIONS & DIGRESSIONS, which I have.
Another was for PUZZLES IN MATH & LOGIC. (Filed in Book
Ads folder.)
Rcd. S&T Staff Newsletter #10.
From Lucerne wrote post cards to Phil Cohen, Earl Perel, Wald
(including a note to Arthur, whose address I forgot to take), Ken
Morgan, Felicia, Phil Orbanes, Jim Dunnigan, & Don Miller.
At "Carl Weber" bought GOLDGRÄBER and POSI-NEGA. Also a
PUZZLE with 3 identical pieces to be formed into a pyramid.
Saw FIZZOG - a German edition of an English game (I believe). Cards
have half faces on two sides except the "starter" which
has 4. There are 4 different features (such as eyes,
beard or lack of it, etc.). Play domino style, scoring 1 point
for each of the 4 features that matches the one played against.
(children's game.)
Saw EXPEDITION, which is the same or similar to Waddington's
EXPLORATION.
Saw CARTINO with the full deck, instead of the short deck as
put out by M.B.
Saw BAZAAR, but not ACQUIRE.
At Nordman dept. store saw WELT HANDEL (COMMERCE UNIVERSAL).
Players get 12 "loading" cards. Move along a path (I think that 2
are provided) to different ports. Get "cargo" cards when
land on a port first time; different values. First to reach
end gets prize money (fixed amount). Play until all have
reached end. Score cargo cards each has and deduct for
"loading" cards left over. (Rough idea.)
Saw QUADRO COMBI (Spear). Later [crossed out] bought it in London
with the name FOUR SCORES.
In the same bookstore I bought in last year I bought two
books: PUUR, NÁLL, AS, SCHÖNE SPIELE.
(cont. from 10/11) [10/12]
definitely going to be put out by Castle.
She rcd. another copy of AGOG which she is mailing to me
today.
[started 10/12]
