Thinking about a <u>FAIRY TALE GAME</u>. Players try to place their  <br>
markers
markers on all the characters of a fairy tale. Have about  <br>
7 different tales on the board with maybe 5 characters in  <br>
each. Each frame has a different character. Players in  <br>
turn put a reel in and then throw a die. Move number of  <br>
clicks thrown and then take that character, or click again,  <br>
and so on until reach a character desired. However if reach  <br>
a blank lose chance to take any. Another possibility,  <br>
continue clicking till you get a character you don't have. Can  <br>
take it or continue with another, etc., but if reach one can't  <br>
use lose them all.  <br>
Instead of having to get all the characters in a picture  <br>
could play that game ends when every character is covered. Then  <br>
most in a group wins it.  <br>
(Just some rough ideas to play around with.)  <br>

Called <u>Earl</u>. Nothing particular about games, except that when I  <br>
told him about ''<u>NEW YORK</u>'' magazine he hinted that if I didn't  <br>
want to do the piece he would like to try. I told him that  <br>
if I turned it down I would tell Dobell about him.  <br>
<u>Arthur</u> called. He has a spy <u>GAME</u> which can be played by  <br>
as little as 2 players. He wouldn't give me any of the details.  <br>
 
I told him about my <u>THE GENTLE ART OF POLITICS</u>.  <br>
<u>Claude</u> called. In the course of the conversation I mentioned  <br>
that I'd be interested in learning more about  <br>
trancendental [transcendental] meditation so as to be able to refresh myself.  <br>
He said that the book ''<u>GROWTH GAMES</u>'' that he gave me has  <br>
many of the techniques.
 
Rcd. <u>MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME</u> from Midwest.
 
Incidentally, <u>Earl</u> has given up his apartment and is living  <br>
in a friend's apt. in Riverdale.  <br>
In my talk with <u>Arthur</u> he was shocked that I even  <br>
considered writing about <u>CHESS</u>.
