September 1975 - Friday 12
Defenders Day (MD.) - 255th day - 110 days to come

Answered letter rcd. 9/9. Mentioned CARD BASEBALL; AGOG, EXECUTIVE DECISION, SLEUTH, PATTON, MACARTHUR, TOTALLY, PUSHOVER, INTERSECTION.
Wrote for a copy of CONCEAL (see 9/10). Said I was enclosing a repro of my S&T column for #51, but forgot to puit put it in.
At "Lionel" in Westchester bought ODD'S MAKER POKER DICE for $2.99 plus tax.
Saw the 3M bookshelf games (not all titles) for about $8.50, and some of the huge HASBRO games for $6.99

(cont. from 9/13) [9/13]

so threw it away and put game in box on shelf 43). 2 books for possible use if I g do a book on "school" games - "Fundamentals of Mathematics" and "Biological Science" - 5¢ each. For 60¢ bought a box with a lot of colored pencils, 2 usable mechanical pencils, a draftsman's pencil, package of regular and one of jumbo paper clips, and a few more small things. At another Garage sale saw the game BLARNEY for 50¢ but decided not to get it.
Looking at the game OSMOSIS that I discovered on the floor next to the desk. It was sent to me for review last year but I forgot about it.
The Laurences here in the evening. Played LASCA with Pil and it is a very interesting game. Played 4-hand QUICK TRIP, first with and drawing one card, which was fun. Then played with choosing two cards to use for entire game. This seemed a little cut and dried. I think it would have been better partnership.
Discussed my Bloomingdale's appearance and Annette suggested a party type game. I thought that a simplification of BABEL might be suitable - and easy and cheap to prepare. Actually it would be more like HAGGLE (Stelledar), with each player being given a different value list for various pl ranks of playing cards.
Gave them a copy of BEYOND TIC TAC TOE.
