TUESDAY 9 NOVEMBER 1965 313th day - 52 days to come

Due to power failure did not get to work on NOMINATION until 2:00 P.M. Didn't finish everything I wanted to do. During day sent out NOMINATION score sheet for 10 prints - I paid for them. At night Dana made labels for the boxes for NOMINATION & CINEMA.

(cont. from 11/10)

down the location. Have 4 chances including the actual city guess. Scoring system based on number of questions. (Rough idea.) Didn't play this.

Jim Goldsbury & Roland Coleman of Hallmark there at one. Played CINEMA (7 hand - including Bill Dodge). Worked very well. I came in 2nd by $100,000. Discussed Bill Dodges game. Simply CATEGORIES with a rather clever list of categories to be put on cards. Each player dealt 5 cards. For 1st round each chooses a category card and then each chooses a letter (thus with 6 players there is a 6x6 grid, etc..). 2nd round another card & letter, etc. After 3rd round, if majority agree the remaining two cards are thrown in and five new ones dealt. Played GO AND SEE but didn't finish game. Played NOMINATION (8 hand - including Anna Lu Van Buren who has an idea for boxing CHARADES which we didn't get a chance to discuss). I won but everyone liked it. Broke up precipitously as there was a warning of another power failure. Called Alice later & discussed it further. They are going to visit I/S Friday and discuss the entire matter.

Bill Bentzin called a few times. Wants more pictures taken tomorrow. The ACQUIRE box was worn on the bottom in the previous picture. We were sent a set of the 7 bookshelf games for the pictures tomorrow. Also discussed the questions for my TV interviews.

Rcd. a catalog from Hamley's in London. The following games look interesting :- L'ATTAQUE - Board looks just about the same as STRATEGO. SUBBUTEO - TABBLE SOCCER - An action game. BUCCANEER - I think this is the same as TRADE WINDS. MEMORY GAME - Take-off of the card game CONCENTRATION. HOROSCOPE - Will get this. SPY RING - Will got this.

Took home a pile of Toys & Novelties from I/S.
