SUNDAY 8 MAY Mother's Day Fourth Sunday after Easter 1966 128th day - 237 days to come

Played SIT DOWN AND THINK with Dad & Morris. Morris won. They liked it. I looked at Bill Caruson's letter on the game. He said they would fairly surely want to use it next year. I wonder if we did lil right in sending it to Hallmark.

(cont. from 5/7) [5/7] circles on the edges. The dial is spun and each player must put the limb (hand or foot, right or left) on a circle of the color spun. Must keep a limb in place until a new color is spun for it, except that one limb may be raised to pass another under it. When lose balance, you are out.

TEN COMMANDMENTS BIBLE GAME (Cadaco):- Board game with path around the edge. Players move around and endeavor to land on each of the 10 commandments. There are sp spaces where players get food, clothing, money, etc. There are also other spaces where these things are given to charity. Some spaces allow trading of one item for another. One space repre- sents the "Samaritans" and each time a player lands there he reads them all the commandments that he has that they haven't received yet. The game cannot be ended until a definite ammount of charity has been collected and the "Samaritans" have heard all ten commandments. The first player after this to get the 10 commandments wins. (Rough idea.)

ROTARY CHECKERS from the book GAY PARTIES

2, 3, or 4 players. Each 2 to 8 players (I think). Each player has 10 marbles started in the interior spaces of a segment. A neutral marble is placed in the center space and left there. The object is to get across the board as in CHINESE CHECKERS. A move can be a move to an adjoining space, a jump or a series of jumps. There is also an "open" jump. The jumping pc. is next to the jumped (possibly only an op- ponent's is suitable) and can go up to 5 spaces passed if the path (on circle or straight line) is open. Only one "open" jump can be made on a move.

Bought THISTLE (P.) & FOUR LANE ROAD RACING GAME (Trans.) (Bought in Hartford)

In Hartford saw Saw TYCOON (P) the same game I already have, originally put of by the H.C. Jacoby Co.

In Hartford saw FOLLOW THE ARROW @ Brentanno's. The board is different from the one I have:- (cont. on 5/10)
