In Simpson's, Toronto, bought the following : - <u>CHERCLES</u> (which is the same game as <u>DAFT DRAUGHTS</u>) for $2.50. (Put out by Parker of Canada.). <u>COVER UP</u> for $3.98. (Put out by Parker of Canada.) (At home discovered that a piece was missing.) <br>
In Simpson's, Toronto, bought the following : - <u>CHERCLES</u> (which  
is the same game as <u>DAFT DRAUGHTS</u>) for $2.50. (Put out

Saw <u>HARNESS RACING</u> (Lowe), <u>CHAOS</u> (Parker of Canada, instead of Lakeside), <u>HI-SPOT</u> (Parker of Canada, instead of Pressman).  <br>
Saw <u>HARNESS RACING</u> (Lowe), <u>CHAOS</u> (Parker of Canada,

1/4 of the board. With a certain throw (don't remember <br>

also a "Weather Guide." This is a plastic sheet that covers

1/4 of the board. With a certain throw (don't remember

move, the one there is moved to an adjacent space. <br>
Saw <u>ADMIRALS</u> (Parker of Canada). It seems to be patterned
on the game <u>BATTLE STATIONS!</u> by John E. Burleson, which
is subtitled - The Game of "Admirals". This, however, allows a
capture by short jump or a series of short jumps, as well
as the "confrontation" capture. A jump over a "mine" results in
the loss of the jumping ship. If I remember correctly, the
position of the "Admirals" is not kept secret. <br>
In Eaton's saw <u>CONVENTION</u> (Games Research).
In Toronto "Natural History" Museum saw a mural, which I
was told was a copy - with some dressing up - of one 
actually on Crete. It is titled "Palace of Minos, The Queen's Apartment,
Knossos Crete, 16th c. B.C." Among other things it shows
2 boys playing <u>MANCALA</u>. The board is 12 holes set in a
circle. Only a small number of "stones" are shown.

<u>HARPOON</u> - by Gabriel.)
While at S.P.I. showed <u>Al Zugier</u> (see 6/14) the board and
rules for <u>REAL ACTION BASEBALL GAME</u>. He made repros [reproductions]
for himself. <br>
Made 10 repros [reproductions] of my column for #38. <br>
Call from <u>Claude</u> and we'll get together with <u>Earl</u> and
<u>Issy</u> & Betty Friday night. <br>
I thought of the idea that if we want to get together to
play games sometime in a central location we can use
the S.P.I. office on a Friday night. Claude thought it
was a good idea.
