15 Wednesday - October 1975
288th day - 77 days to come

At Yale Co-op store saw a book GAMES OF THE WORLD - Holt, Reinhart, Winston. This is another big book. Nothing new to me (I am pretty sure) but some beautiful graphics. Also saw THE ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF TABLES GAMES - St. Martin's Press. This also didn't have anything new to me and the graphics were not particularly interesting.
Saw the "Political Satire Deck" (which is in the "Great Games Gallery Catalog" - see 10/14). Looked at rules for POLITICAL SATIRE GAME. It is played like WAR except that the player leading (is the lead rotated?) picks the category - such as name of person, country, capital, area, population. If some kind of name the initial letter later in the al- phabet wins. With numbers, largest wins. With names, if both have same initial letter it is a tie and more cards are dealt.
