FRIDAY 5 FEBRUARY 1965 36th day - 329 days to come

Returned uncashed money orders for L2-3-6 to Hamleys since they couldn't be cashed in this country. Asked for credit.

Rcd. BEN SOAKER CARD GAME from Alice Felicia. Filed in Misc. Card Games folder.

Felicia called to see if we have Business Week magazine at our office. There is an article in Feb. 6th issue about games for business made up by Allan Charles (who is he?).

Bob & Helen over to finish up his switching toy with Dana. He showed me his new GAME IDEA. Play on a checkerboard using 9 pcs. ea. of 4 colors. The pcs. are started in 3 x 3 squares at the 4 corners of the board. Move like a chess king. Use a deck of cards to determine the move, each player having 1 suit. Layout the cards so that, say, 5 can be seen at any time. The top card player moves, then the next, etc. When an opponent's pc. space is reached form a pile by putting your pc. on top. A two high pile can only be covered by a pile 2 or higher, & so on. Didn't decide whether piles should be given a greater move. Also didn't determine an objective. The piling protection gives an incentive to invade an opponent's territory. Another rule is that no two pcs. in a pile next to each other may be the same color. This prevents a pile mopping up 1 opponent.

Told Bob of my new ideas (2/4) for AIRLINE. He liked them.
