To Reiss. Spoke to <u>Bob Reiss</u> for a moment. He didn't remember<br> | |||
about saying he might want me to do a <u>GAME</u> for a celebrity.<br> | |||
Busy, and when I asked for copies of <u>THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME</u><br> | |||
he said sure and to get them from "Michelle." Spoke to her and<br> | |||
she gave me the 4 I asked for- and a shopping bag into which they fit.<br> | |||
<br>Met <u>Phil Laurence</u> on Broadway. Told him I liked his <u>BRIDGE FOR TWO</u><br> | |||
and confirmed that the player taking the bid faces two move cards.<br> | |||
After we parted realized I could have given him copy of<br> | |||
<u>THE HARRY LORAYNE MEMORY GAME</u> and saved myself some carrying.<br> | |||
<br>Bought typewriter ribbon at summit - $1.20 plus tax.<br> | |||
<br>Stopped at Essex Games to get price info on <u>COUNTERSTRIKE</u> and<br> | |||
possibly a copy. Noone there. Copied their telephone no. (255-1704).<br> | |||
To "Childcraft." Bought <u>THE GATES</u> - $2.99. Looked at<br> | |||
<u>4 GAMES IN 3 DIMENSIONS</u>. There is a 3x3x3 field. For<br> | |||
<u>OMNIGRAM</u> there are cardboard squares with the alphabet and<br> | |||
one blank. Players in turn place a square and score one point for<br> | |||
each 3 letter word formed. The blank can be used as any letter,<br> | |||
and is the only pc. that can be moved. For <u>INVASION</u> there are 8 pcs.<br> | |||
each of two colors. These are set up on the top and bottom layers, <br> | |||
leaving the center spaces empty. Movement is one space in any orthoGONAL<br> | |||
direction, except vertically back towards a player's starting<br> | |||
level. Jumps [illegible word crossed out] are made orthogonally over single enemy pcs. which are<br> | |||
removed. Multiple jumps can be made if the position is correct. One<br> | |||
moving most pcs. to opposite level wins, for [illegible word crossed out] <u>LOCATE</u> there are<br> | |||
pcs. with the numbers from 1 to 21. All are placed face down. The<br> | |||
top and bottom layers are filled with face down pieces and the remaining<br> | |||
