FRIDAY 4 MARCH Ember Day 1966 63rd day - 302 days to come

Alice called at home. Wants me to have Arthur and Claude. Send her a letter acknowledging the 25% fee. Larry Winters wants her to take a cut in % if he takes one for HIGH BID. She won't go along with it. She has changed the name of BALIGRAMS to THE BIG WORD. She will mail me the rules. Ruth has used the PEACHY principle with a board GAME. She will send me rules to this. She says she thinks its the best race game she's ever played. Hallmark asked her to contact Washburne about 99. She didn't like him.

At the Firshine's and with the Bailins played SETS AND RUNS. This is another variation of CONTRACT RUMMY. Use 2 - 52 card decks the contracts and the number of cards dealt is as follows:- 10 cards 1) 2 sets of 3 2) 1 set of 3 and 1 set of 4 3) 2 runs of 4 4) 3 sets of 3 5) 1 set of 4 and 2 runs of 3

11 cards 6) 2 runs of 4 and 1 run of 3 7) 3 runs of 4 12 CARDS 7) 3 runs of 4 Ace ranks only next to king. 2s are wild. A player in his turn can substitute a suitable card for an exposed 2 and take the two. Players can take an exposed discard out of turn by taking it and a penalty card from the deck. No discard, and right to play continues in regular order. A player cannot take more than 4 out-of-turn cards in a hand (for 8 extra cards). Entire contract must be layed down in one turn and no other cards can be layed off in this turn. In subsequent turns a player may lay off one his own or opponent's melds. Once a player plays out all his cards each remaining player counts the points in his hand (2 to 7 - 5 points, 8 to Ace-10 points) and they are recorded against him. Low score after 7th hand win.
