Looking at book stores below 14th St. Bought Nov. '71  <br>
''<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>'' in Sylvan. At Strand looked at  <br>
''<u>FAMILY GAMES AMERICA PLAYS</u>'' by Walter Gibson (Doubleday '70).  <br>
Contained standard board, card, domino, etc. games. Also  <br>
<u>PARCHEESI</u>, etc. <u>RACK-O</u> was included and a variation called  <br>
<u>BONUS RACK-O</u>. If a player completes he scores 50 points bonus  <br>
for three cards in numerical order (i.e. - 29, 30, 31); 100  <br>
points for 4; 200 points for 5; 400 points for 6 or more. only  <br>
the highest scoring sequence is scored. The game can be  <br>
played to the usual 500 points, or to 1000.
<u>Bob Gellman</u> gave me a letter he rcd. from another  <br>
<u>GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB</u>, this one in Pa., asking him  <br>
if he wants to be represented. He doesn't. They will concentrate  <br>
on academically oriented and intellectually stimulating  <br>
games. (Filed in R.G.I. folder.)  <br>
Met <u>Claude</u> at Biblo and Tannin and to <u>Earl</u>'s together.  <br>
Played <u>COMPUTER BINGO</u> (<u>DATA</u>) with Earl and Claude. Started  <br>
before <u>Issie</u> (Earl's friend) came. He joined with Earl and  <br>
they won, beating me by having 6 vertical columns to  <br>
my 5. I went first and I decided to allow all players  <br>
the same number of turns. (Earl's friend is <u>Issie Rothman</u>.)  <br>
<u>Claude</u> complained, rightly, that a player who just  <br>
didn't happen to get a "sorting" card of a particular  <br>
color had no chance of winning. Decided on a rule  <br>
that a player could on his turn use two "sorting" cards  <br>
of any color or colors to "sort" any other color he wished.  <br>
(At first considered 3 for 1.)  <br>
<u>Claude</u> suggested putting plastic over the cards for  <br>
keeping track of the <s>cards</s> data cards a player has  <br>
"sorted" after I said I'd like to use a grease pencil.  <br>
I asked if transparent contact would work and he was  <br>
