(cont. from 3/15) Mc-Graw Hill Book Co., Inc. (Educational Games & Aids Div.)

  • 4 CYTE- Elaborate version of Word Squres.

Spoke to Mr. Knudsen, development man, about showing some games. I'm to call 971-2376.

Lowell Toy Mfg. Corp.

  • CUE- There are messages written in code (do all players

get the same message?), a special gadget for with windows for each letter, master code cards to be placed in the gadget, 5 letter dice. Each player gets a message. The corresponding code card is placed in the gadget. Each player in turn shakes the 5 letter dice and makes just one word. He can look behind the window of any letter in the word, but only one. (For example he makes the word SOD and has a number of D's in his message. He looks behind the window, keep- ing it covered from the others, and sees that D is a supsitu- ted for E. He can then write E wherever a D occurs.) First to decipher his message wins. (See Ad Clippings - 1964).

  • NFL FOOTBALL- (Nation Football League) - A simple foot-

ball game played with two many sided dice. No choice at all* as the game stands. 1 die gives the type of play and the other, in the proper location, gives the yardage result. *A player can choose to kick, and only throw the results die. Jules Cooper talked about a WAR GAME IDEA which he developed but won't publish. Two islands are the beliger- ants. The forces are built up until one declares war. (All he told me.) Also said again that PATHFINDER and INTRIGUE were better games before M.B. loused them up. I'm supposed to call him about getting together and show- ing him my collection.

  • PORT-OF-CALL- was given a new set of instructions which have

some minor changes.

  • MOONHUNT- A prospecting game using a magnetic device

for locating a vein. (See Ad Clippings - 1964).

  • MARCHEK- A "Chinese Checkers" type game played on a quadrille,

(2 to 4 players). Jumped pcs. are captured. (Rough idea.)
