FRIDAY 5 AUGUST 1966 217th day - 148 days to come

Claude and Anne over. Claude brought me two ad clippings. ROLABOWLA (from the Times). A bowling game played (probably) with two dice. The picture showed the following:

[crossed out drawing of die; two cube dice drawn] Put out by: Capitol Games Co. Dept. 212 422 Washington Bldg. Washington, D.C. 20005

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL (from Sport Magazine) Baseball game has 613 major league players represented. All are rated for amazing realism. You manage all 20 teams, make all decisions, actually control outcome of game. Great fun for the whole family. $4.79 ppd. Negamco, Dept. NM63, Box 201, Duluth, Minn.

Arthur came. He tried my ideas for YIN-YANG but thinks it too time consuming. He decided to change the play to only allow a revolution on the after the first card - that is only the 2nd card can be a revolution card. He is also changing the scoring to allow each player only the two deals, instead of 4, at 100 & 200 points a trick.

We played several games of LOA while waiting for others. Paul Milazzo came with Bob Abel and his wife Carol. He spent most of the evening in the game room with me ex- cept for a game of BIG FUNERAL which I didn't join. Bob is pp</>s preparing an article for Article True Magazine which will feature the humerous aspect of learning games. This will be in December. The Diplomat Magazine article will be more informative and will be published some time in the spring. Gave him a copy of FOCUS. When he finishes the articles he will let me have some of the games he is giving away. He also has some magazine articles which I haven't seen. He'll let me look thru his files.
