SATURDAY 27 JUNE 1964 179th day - 187 days to come

Filed AFRIKA KORPS, CONESTOGA, & 99 in 1964 Ad Clips.

At Gimbel's - Paramus saw PROBE again. See 5/28 for additional information.


(cont. from 6/26) Wald had a GAME IDEA. Use a standard deck. 4 play with partners sitting alternately. 12 cards are dealt to each and 4 cards are place in the center as follows:-

[diagram of 4 cards, placed north/south/east/west]

There is a round of bidding in which players bid for a number of points they will make with a suit as a scoring suit. Play consists of playing a card in each position starting with the one in front of the player, & going in a clockwise direction. If the last card played is higher than the card on top he takes the entire pile. Piles left at the end belong to no one. (There was discussion about this.) Each ACE counts 4, King-3, Queen-2, jack-1. In addition each of the 13 cards of the chosen suit counts 1 point. There is probably a game here but it needs a lot of development.

Someone mentioned a game that friends had been playing around with. It is called LINGER. The idea is to be the last to die off. There are cards with different types of diseases. Some are contagious & can be given to other players.

Wald, Bob, Claude, Helen & I played one round of BIG FUNERAL.

Wald, Claude, Dana & I played a game of SPECTRUM.
