SATURDAY 9 MAY 1964 130th day - 236 days to come

At Brentano's saw BLOCK OUT (T.A.G. - Transagram Adult Games) A fancy production of a simple game. There are 2 dice, wooden blocks for the numbers 2 thru 12 and 4 trays with space for 5 blocks. Game #1:- 2 to 4 can play. Players in turn can shake the dice. They may take a block equalling the total number or any two available numbers that add up to the total. These are placed in order on their tray. A pc. can be taken from an opponent's tray provided it is the last pc. in the tray. Only one pc. can be taken from an opponent on a turn but 2 pcs. from 2 opponents can be taken in a turn. The first to get 5 pcs. wins. Game #2:- Only the pc. representing the total of the dice can be taken but it can be taken regardless where it is located. The first to get 3 blocks in numerical order sequence (don't have to be in that order on the tray) wins. Game #2 & #3 seem to be completely chance.

At a party at the Shenker's played CHARADES using only movie titles. This made it too easy.
