FRIDAY 26 JUNE 1964 178th day - 188 days to come

In Paramus, N.J. bought KARATE (S & R) & WORD POWER (A.H.)

Saw LET'S MAKE A DEAL (MB). Played upon a board which is used only for placing the cards. There is a deck of 35 cards. These have values from $5 to $200 and some blanks. There are also 2 (I think) bonus cards. These are worth equal to the highest card that the player who owns them possesses. There is also a set of 8 door cards, and a pack of play money. The 35 cards are divided into 8 packs of 4 and one set of 3. The packs of 4 are for making deals and the set of 3 ar is a surprise package ($500 - I think- is given to each player) and the high bidder puts his bid in the "Jackpot". He chooses a pack and shows it to all players. He keeps any value cards and the others are out of the game.

He then looks at another pack without showing them to the other players. He then sets a value for the others to start bidding on the pack. He can set it at any value he wishes. If the others bid the high bidder gets the cards and gives the ammount of the bid to the fir player setting the value. If no one will bid the player keeps the cards himself & puts the set value into the "Jackpot".

This procedure continues until all 8 packs are used. In order to raise money for bidding players may sell value cards to the bank, but not bonus cards. After all 8 packs have been taken the player with the greatest value in cards (I think) takes his pick of the "door cards". And so on in order. 6 "door cards" are blanks while one gives a player the surprise package & the other gives the money in the "Jackpot". The player with the highest total value of money & value cards wins.

Saw ZIPCODE (Lakeside). There is a deck of 60 letters, 12 each with zipcodes starting with 1, 2, 3, & 4 and 12 dummy letters. There are 4 racks containing space for 12 letters each, corresponding to the numbers 1, 2, 3, & 4. There is a special die with colors corres- ponding to the stations 1 to 4 and another die with the numbers 1 to 3 repeated twice. The 60 cards are divided equally. Each player takes a rack and places any letters with his number in the rack. Then in turn they throw the 2 dice & take from 1 to 3 letters from the player designated. The other 2 die faces govern contributing to the "dead letter office". This and some other special plays - I am not clear about. Win by getting all 12 of your own letters.

At Claude's had a N.Y.G.A. meeting. (cont. on 6/27)

1964 178th day - 188 days to come


In Paramus, N.J. bought KARATE (S & R) & WORD POWER (A.H.)
Saw LET'S MAKE A DEAL (MB). Played upon a board which
is used only for placing the cards. There is a deck of
35 cards. These have values from $5 to $200 and
some blanks. There are also 2 (I think) bonus cards. These
are worth equal to the highest card that the player
who owns them possesses. There is also a set of 8 door
cards, and a pack of play money.
The 35 cards are divided into 8 packs of 4 and one
set of 3. The packs of 4 are for making deals and the
set of 3 ar is a surprise package ($500 - I think- is
given to each player) and the high bidder puts his bid in
the "Jackpot". He chooses a pack and shows it to all
players. He keeps any value cards and the others are out
of the game.
He then looks at another pack without showing them to the
other players. He then sets a value for the others to
start bidding on the pack. He can set it at any value he
wishes. If the others bid the high bidder gets the cards
and gives the ammount of the bid to the fir player setting
the value. If no one will bid the player keeps the cards
himself & puts the set value into the "Jackpot".
This procedure continues until all 8 packs are used.
In order to raise money for bidding players may sell
value cards to the bank, but not bonus cards. After
all 8 packs have been taken the player with the greatest
value in cards (I think) takes his pick of the "door
cards". And so on in order. 6 "door cards" are blanks while
one gives a player the surprise package & the other
gives the money in the "Jackpot". The player with the
highest total value of money & value cards wins.
