Bill Bentzin called to get information on my published games.

<u>AIRLINE</u>, <u>MOVEMENT</u>, <u>ACQUIRE</u>, <U>FOCUS</U>, <U>HIGH <S>BID</S> SPIRITS</U>, <U>RED LETTER</U>,
<U>DATA</U>, <U>SIT DOWN AND THINK</U>, <U>CARRÉ</U>, <U>POTENTIAL</U>, <U>SPECTRUM</U>, <U>TAM-BIT</U>, <U>NEWTOWN</U>, <U>INTEROCKING DIRECTORATE</U>, <U>SPACEWAYS</U>, <U>NOMINATION</U>.
 
Called up ''Popular Science Magazine'' & spoke to Herbert
Shuldiner who did the article on games.  Asked him about
<u>PSYTEGE</u>.  He told me that it is a game, put out by a
California outfit, based on making words out the letters in
a larger word.  The larger words are on cards.  If he still
has it he will loan it to me.  I'm to call him Friday morning.
 
Started cutting corners on <u>NOMINATION</u> cards.
 
Thinking of a game - <u>TENNIS CARDS</u>.  Use a 52 card deck.
One player takes the red cards & one the black.
Choose for first serve.  Server leads any card.  Other
player must answer with one of the same parity (due
to being off balance due to serve).  Volley continues
until a player makes 21 (Aces = 1 or 11, pictures = 10,
others = pip value) which means opponent can't reach ball,
or someone plays a card going over 21 which represents
a ball hit out of bounds or into net.  When a
player uses all his cards he picks up the 26 up and
continues.
