<br>Wrote for a copy of <u>CONCEAL</u> (see 9/10). Said I was enclosing a
repro of my <u>S&T</u> column for &#35;51, but forgot to <s>puit</s> put it in.
<br>At "Lionel" in Westchester bought <u>ODD'S MAKER POKER DICE</u>
for $2.99 plus tax.
<br>Saw the 3M bookshelf games (not all titles) for about $8.50, and
some of the huge HASBRO games for $6.99

so threw it away and put game in box on shelf 43). 2 books
for possible use if I <s>g</s> 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 <u>BLARNEY</u> for 50¢
but decided not to get it.
<br>Looking at the game <u>OSMOSIS</u> that I discovered on the floor
next to the desk. It was sent to me for review last year but
I forgot about it.
<br>The <u>Laurences</u> here in the evening. Played <u>LASCA</u> with Pil and
it is a very interesting game. Played 4-hand <u>QUICK TRIP</u>,
first with <s>and</s> 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.
<br>Discussed my Bloomingdale's appearance and Annette suggested a
party type game. I thought that a simplification of
<u>BABEL</u> might be suitable - and easy and cheap to prepare. Actually
it would be more like <u>HAGGLE</u> (Stelledar), with each player
being given a different value list for various <s>pl</s> ranks of
playing cards.
<br>Gave them a copy of <u>BEYOND TIC TAC TOE</u>.
