SUNDAY 15 MARCH Passion Sunday 1964 75th day - 291 days to come


Record/Games, Inc.

  • SPEEDWAY- Race game played with a chance device (don't re-

member which). When land on certain spaces a record which is playing without volume is turned up and the instruc- tion being given at this time is followed. (Same as drawing a card.)

  • CASINO ROULETTE- Regular roulette except that a special die is thrown

for the first digit of the winning number and a record turned up for the send second.

  • CATCH A THIEF- Path game with multiple paths. Each player

has a police car which moves by a chance device. A record is turned up which gives a police call announcing a crime at a certain location. All cars can answer the call and first reaching it draws a criminal card which has a value which is kept hidden. After all are taken highest total wins. Don't remember whether or not more than 1 call is available at a time. (I gave them a copy of FOC FOCUS and they promised to send me samples of their games.)


CO-5 Company

  • AGGRAVATION- (See Ad Clippings - 1964) Parchisi type.

Don't remember if you need a special number to start a piece. Think that only one die is thrown on a turn. A piece on the row containing the starting space can move to the center space if it the has the proper num- ber (i.e. - from the starting space it would need a 6). The center space may also be reached from any of inside point spaces by throw of a 1. From the center space a pc. can move to any inside point space upon a throw of 1. A pc. can be captured while it is on the center space. To move into the home spaces pcs. must have the exact count and as they wait they are ex- posed to capture. There is a board for a maximum of 6 players. All rules are the same except that the center space can only be reached from the row containing the starting space.
