Charlie left a clipping from the NEWSDAY with
an article on a device - called the BETFINDER - which
gives you the proper size of bets for different
gambling games. (Filed in '73 misc. [1973 miscellaneous])
Dale and Phil looked at "Gameways" on Bloor St. in Toronto.
All my 3M games were there.
Phil took info on the following as the only games that looked
different:
ALGONQUIN VOYAGEURS (by Lloyd Travel Games - $6.00). Teaches
about trails and camping.
THE GREAT GAME OF BRITAIN (by Condor - $6.00). Similar to
THE LONDON GAME.
MULTIOPSONY (by House of Gordon - $7.00). Similar to MONOPOLY,
but with somewhat more choices.
Finished getting a solution for each type of piece in the
center for THE 31ST HEX.
Played a game with Phil Laurence. Each player in turn
draws a piece blindly and play places it, the first
one in the center and then connected, obeying the
laws of the puzzle. Object is for each player to fill
the two "goal spaces" across from each other (4 spaces
total). The game became bogged done and it was necessary
to replace pieces placed. Couldn't decide what the penalty for
this would be and what happens to the piece removed.

thrift shop. Told him I had it and he kept it, without
charging me.
Gave Claude the copy of TEN-Q which I payed him for
but discovered that I had.
Claude gave me the copy of THE PRODUCTIVITY GAME
that he bought for me at the Smithsonian. Actually it is a
board with a spinner attached and the rules printed.
Claude tried out his game DIABOLIQUE with me, Earl, and
Bob Abbott in different combinations of two at a time. The
board is 4x4 and there are pcs. [pieces] with the following numbers: -
