(cont. from 12/23) [12/23]

to visualize; and COUNTERSTRIKE, which he thinks calls for more skill than BACKGAMMON. A board and rules for the latter are also included in the package, and there is now one that is comparatively cheap - didn't get the price. the four of us played ROUND 'N' ROUND. At first we were so far behind that it was discouraging. Then we started catching up and ended only two boxes behind.
We played SEARCH and came out with a tie.
We played THE RIGHT WORD and Ronnie won with 230, I had 210, and BB and Audrie each had 155. They liked it. Ronnie brought along the package of games from "Family Pastimes" (which we decided to order on 10/2, I believe altho I don't have any record of it). The following were in it: YIN/YANG; TURNOVERS; THE FAMILY DECK with rule sheet and an extra booklet 6 GAMES MORE FOR THE FAMILY DECK; booklet (for separate charge) 5 GAMES MORE FOR THE FAMILY DECK.
We decided to divide YIN/YANG to him and TURNOVERS to me. He will order another copy of THE FAMILY DECK while I keep this one. I will get repros of everything that we are not getting in duplicate. He paid something over $20.00m and will have to pay for the new order. He only took $10 from me and I'll have to give him more. (Tho it is true that YIN/YANG is much fancier than TURNOVERS.
Made date for 1/22/77, at their house about 3:00 pm.
Claude called as the Corns were leaving. Called him back and spoke for some time. Discussed tentative dates, but nothing definite.
