SUNDAY 12 SEPTEMBER 1965 Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Old Defenders' Day (Baltimore, Md.) 255th day - 110 days to come

Worked a little on MARLBORO COUNTRY using the markers I made yesterday, but without a board.

(cont. from 9/11) could not be the same number. There is a solitaire version which seems to depend only on keeping a time record of the solutions as dealt out from the pack.

ROYAL FREEZE (A & L - Brooklyn) Invented by Leonard Treinis. 1965. The game comes with two sets of letter cubes, 12 in a set. Each set is identical. II cubes are identified with a differently colored border. The 12th is a wild cube. Additional sets of cubes are for sale. One player throws his set and others match the faced letters. They work behind screens to form words in crossword fashion. There are 2 scoring methods:- 1) Players must have a minimum length of a word which is chosen by agreement, from 6 to 8. The length of each word formed is squared. There is a bonus for using the wild cube as Z, Q or X. Also for using all cubes (don't remember amount of bonus). Deduct 2 for each unused letter. 2) Score 10 for each word formed regardless of length. No minimum length requirements. Other scores same as first version.

SPACE ACE (Lucky Star - Pompton Lake, N.J. - 1963) A board game with the planets and some constellations object to pick up "souveneers" of visits to different planets and stars and return home with at least 5. Good to get more because there is a pirate ship which moves around (how?) and when a player lands on it loses their souvenirs. Can use one souveneer to buy a move for the pirate ship to get it to a safer space. (Very rough idea.)

SPACE CHECKERS (Pleasuretime). A 3-dimensional checker game played on 4 - 4x4 boards. (cont. on 9/10)
