316TH DAY - 50 DAYS TO COME

Wrote a new intro to the <u>BOOK WORLD</u> 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¢.
<u>Arthur</u> called. He asked if I knew about Ideal's game <u>MARK THREE</u>
which he saw advertised. He had shown <u>THREE</u> to <u>Jules Cooper</u>
and was just checking. Told him about <u>MARK THREE</u>, and action
<u>TIC-TAC-TOE</u> variation.
Gave him the adress [address] of the <u>AGOG</u> reader (see 11/8) who was
interested in the <u>HIGH DECK</u>. Arthur will write to him.
<u>Dale</u> brought me a letter from a fellow who is both an <u>S & T</u>
and <u>AGOG</u> reader. He sent me a game, <u>CARD FOOTBALL</u>, that he
invented after seeing <u>CARD BASEBALL</u>. He gave me permission to
use in a book if I wish.
To the <u>Richter</u>s. Al got a letter from <u>Earl Perel</u> with a description
of <u>DON'T BLOW A FUSE</u>. Al think he can work out a way of
doing it.
Played <u>SUPER-TAC-TOE</u> with Al. We both found it quite intriguing.
Four of us played <u>IMAGE</u>. It wasn't bad.
Adela said that they both loved <u>MYWORD!</u>

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 <u>COMBINATION</u> 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 <u>PARIS</u>. 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:-
