August 1975 - Friday 15
Assumption of B. V. Mary - 227th day - 138 days to come

Called Bob Reiss and made date for next Thursday at 2:30.
Rcd. Aug. PLAYTHINGS. Nothing of interest.
Going over reference material for MILL, THE JUNGLE GAME, and ANAGRAMS for the article in [illegible words crossed out] THE FAMILY CREATIVE WORKSHOP. Played MANCALA with BB using part of an egg crate and lima beans. Started with 4 in each hole. 1) played that any hole could be emptied. Win by ending in hole previously holding 1 or 2. 2) Same, except that can only empty hole on own side. If all empty opponent continues until some are sent to empty side. 3) Same as 2, except that captures can only be made on opponent's side. Went over the pictures in the travel pamphlets Claude once gave me, looking for pictures of 12 cities. BB downtown and bought yarn for LASCA board.
Dave Horn gave me a copy of THE NEW GAME OF HUMAN LIFE that he bought in Williamsburg, Va. Laurie bought Dave a copy of TRI-TAC-TOE. I looked at the rules. It is played on a 3x3x3 field. Variation 1) 2 play and take turns placing marbles (it would be a good idea to prohibit the first player from taking the center space). When all spaces are filled score 1 point for each line of 3. Variation 2) The first to make a line of 3 loses. 2 play. Variation 3) Again 2 play. Each has 14 mar- bles of his color. A marble starts in lower left hand corner of top level. A player in his turn either enters a marble or moves one. Non-capture moves are one space orthoganally. Capture moves are 1 space diagonally, but only on the same level. Don't recall whether it takes an extra turn to remove a marble that reaches the exit space. One to bring the most marbles thru wins.
