TUESDAY 18 JANUARY 1966 18th day - 347 days to come

To Gordon Novelty Co. to ask about JUMP - CHICKS AND CHECKERS. According to the clerk it was simply checkers with pictures of girls on the bottom of the checkers.

January Playthings came.

The Hallmark contract came. It is good except one possible clause about no further payments after expiration of protection - etc. want Alice's lawyer to look @ it. I'll pay 3/4.

Spoke to Claude and to Arthur. Suggested that Arthur prepare a model of and rules for THREE & LINES for submission thru Alice. Also suggested that Claude try to make KNIFE YOUR BUDDY into a true deduction game. Claude has a detective book with an old card and game described. He will show it to me Saturday.

Thinking of a a GAME. Play on a checkerboard. Each player has 12 pcs. set up as in checkers except that one player is on red and one on black. Pcs. can move in a diagonal line on player's color as far as clear. Can not jump and cannot pass between two diagonally adjacent opponents. Can only move forward until reach row where a pc. is crowned and can move in either direction. Capture by getting an opponent's pc. in a straight line between two of your pcs. Not tested.
