SATURDAY 29 MAY 1965 149th day - 216 days to come

Rcd. package from 3M dated May 5th. Contained copies of:-

  • JUMPIN
  • STOCKS & BONDS
  • QUINTO

At Korvette's saw STYMIE (MB), tied in, I believe, with the Bewitched TV program. There are 42 cards. 15 are operation cards, 5 each of +, -, ×. The other 27 are number cards (0, 1, 2, 5, 10). Each player, 2 to 4 play has a playing area consisting of 2 rows of 3 spaces each. Cards are played in these spaces, number cards in the 1st & 3rd spaces, operational cards in the 2nd spaces. Each player has 6 cards and in his turn plays one card to a playing area, either his own or opponent's. He then replaces a card from the deck. When a line of three is complete the 3 cards are placed in the discard & the player whose area they were in scores as follows. The sum of the two cards with a +. The difference between the higher and lower with a -, regardless of the order in which they are played (why not allow a deduction from a player's score?). The product with a ×. Play to 100 points.

Paul & Jackie Greenough visited us. He showed me a set of Chinese Chess CHINESE CHESS pcs. and a set of CHINESE CARDS which he bought in Chinatown. Told me the location of the store & I'll have to pick up sets. We played two games of SIT DOWN AND THINK. Both liked it and played well. He won the first game. She won second.
