11 SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 1972

316TH DAY - 50 DAYS TO COME

Wrote a new intro to the BOOK WORLD column.

At a bazaar in White Plains bought about 80 "tie tacks" for $3.00. They are small metal figures in several different shapes, and some with stones mounted in them. When I break off the point they can be used for game pieces. Also bought 100 "push pins" for 50¢.

Arthur called. He asked if I knew about Ideal's game MARK THREE which he saw advertised. He had shown THREE to Jules Cooper and was just checking. Told him about MARK THREE, an action TIC-TAC-TOE variation. Gave him the adress [address] of the AGOG reader (see 11/8) who was interested in the HIGH DECK. Arthur will write to him.

Dale brought me a letter from a fellow who is both an S & T and AGOG reader. He sent me a game, CARD FOOTBALL, that he invented after seeing CARD BASEBALL. He gave me permission to use in a book if I wish.

To the Richters. Al got a letter from Earl Perel with a description of DON'T BLOW A FUSE. Al thinks he can work out a way of doing it. Played SUPER-TAC-TOE with Al. We both found it quite intriguing. Four of us played IMAGE. It wasn't bad. Adela said that they both loved MYWORD!

(cont. from 11/12)[12/8]

a new pyramid. Aces and Kings are placed face up in the general area of correctly guessed cards. They count as -10. Cards from the discard pyramid can be built down solitaire style - from the kings of correctly guessed cards, or up on the aces. They also count -10. When the face- down pyramid has ten cards on it and a card is turned that cannot be placed the game is over. If the net score is plus, it is considered a certain height climb up the mountain. Another round is then started by the same player or the next if more than 1 is playing, trying to see how far up the mountain they can climb before falling off. (Fairly complete idea.) Showed my COMBINATION solitaire to Anne, but she wasn't very impressed. When I told Arthur I preferred games with cognetive [cognitive] choice instead of sensary [sensory] choice he showed me his latest "final" version of PARIS. It is the same as the rules given on 5/8/70 except that the 8 cards are layed [laid] out in the position as shown:- (cont. on 11/8)
