THURSDAY 10 MARCH 1966 69th day - 296 days to come

Claude over at office He was at RemCo. They are not interested in hiring him but are interested in Electronic Playmate. He saw a game called DOCTOR NIM which plays a Nim Game with the player.

Alice called to tell me who to see at Toy Fair. Not much there she said.

(cont. from 3/12) [3/11] Winner Toy Company:- THE GAME OF SEX:- More of a party stunt than a game. The board has two paths, one for men and one for women. They cross on the two dark spaces. Players must kiss when meet there. (Have rules & picture in 1966 Ad Clips). Milton Bradley:- TWISTER - Large board with four different colored circles. Players contort themselves to place feet and palms in somehow determined colored circles. Didn't actually see it or anything else there. Selchow & Righter Co.:- [illegible word crossed out] KOMMISSAR:- Humorous path game. Start in Siberia. Get material possessions, pawn them, and fly to U.S. Gave me a copy of 1966 catalog - boxed together with a small SCRABBLE set. CADACO Cadaco:- INDOOR BĀSBAL :- One of the best action baseball games yet. (See catalog in 1966 Ad Clips) BATTA HAI :- (See Catalog) The plain set is used for calling. The first domino called is turned over by all and this sets the number req'd. for the squares with tree symbols. First to fill his card wins. (Don't know function of "Doubler"). Probably using it on completed card doubles value of win. TEN COMMANDMENTS BIBLE GAME:- (See Catalog.) THE CHASE (See Catalog.) Parker :- Randy Barton showed me around. Got Catalog (filed in bottom drawer of file cabinet). New games :- HEY PA! THERE'S A GOAT ON THE ROOF - Children's game. AS THE WORLD TURNS - Travel race game with money. TYCOON - Taken over by Parker. I have it. THISTLE - Card game AVALANCHE:- (Not in catalog) An inclined board (almost vertical) There are a series of flip-flops. The top part will hold a marble, but if the bottom is hit the marble falls out. There are about a dozen of these arranged in parallel and in series. Object is to get as many marbles as possible lodged on the flip-flops. [image of a stand angled about 45 degrees with a U-shaped object on top holding a marble. There's also a marble halfway down the stand]

Randy said they'd like to look at AIRLINE. and not later than June would be best.
