THURSDAY 28 JULY 1966 209th day - 156 days to come

Bob got me reproductions of:- Filed in "Board Game" Folder {PIKE'S PEAK OR BUST
CHECK-MATE
AIR POWER-STRIKE
JET AGE WARFARE
ORIENTAL LEAP FROG RACE } By Glen Q. Ripley

Rcd. a call from Alice.
Ronald Coleman is leaving Hallmark for a bigger job in a smaller company. He will let Alice know who will replace him. CRISS-CROSS (see 6/8) and INVASION are being returned. They thought the latter was a good game of its type and might be interested in it sometime in the future, but think that CAPTURE THE CARGO fills the need better. (I disagree that they are similar.) They thought that the former could be developed into a new BINGO but it didn't work out. They would like to have a BINGO type game.
Alice suggested SCOPE. I didn't think it would be salable in its present form but thought of the idea of using a individual boards with 36 pegs and cards with holes that fit over them. Numbers are next to the holes and they are covered by using rubber bands over the pegs. A single number may not be covered and the calling numbers run from 5 to 25. This probably will make the game better.
