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. | |||
