THURSDAY 25 AUGUST
1966 237th day - 128 days to come
To Gimbel's where they had a good display of the 3M games.
Saw HEADS UP (Lowe). There is a layout as follows:-
[diagram of squares with various mathematical symbols in rows.
(square) + (square) = (square)
(square) − (square) = (square)
(square) × (square) = (square) ± (square)
(square) ÷ (square) = (square) ± (square)]
There are 14 special dice which
have numbers from 0 to 15 (I believe).
Players in turn throw the dice
and place them in the layout
making as many valid equations
as possible in a two minute
period timed by a sand timer.
The player scores the value
of all numbers used on the layout, minus the value
of unused numbers. There is a 50 point bonus for using
all 14 dice.
Saw HIT N' MISS (Lowe). There are layout in a plastic
board for 4 players. These include the numbers
1 to 9 and two "out" spaces. Players in turn throw
two dice and place marbles in the hole representing
the total throw or two numbers adding to the total.
If cannot use the throw, must place a marble in
an "out" space. If throw a double and can use it, get
another throw.
Game is over when one player covers all his numbers,
or if all players get two "outs." Don't remember
scoring.
At Woolworth saw AS THE WORLD TURNS (P). Board game
played with dice. There is a path which consists
of two circles. After going around the first circle
move onto the 2nd circle which may be traversed
more than once.
[two circles drawn with arrows, one labeled "END" and one "START"]
Along the path there are spaces
representing cities. Others directing
you to draw a "chance" card, and
others directing you to go "off course"
to city shown inside the circle. There are a set
of cards which contain 2 "passport" cards for each city
along the path. There are also cards representing
various means of transportation. Whe These cards are
dealt out to the players at the start of game.
When a player lands on a city he pays the printed
amount to each holder of the "passport" to that city.
If he is sent "off course" he pays each holder of a
transportation card shown with that city (3). On
his next turn he goes back to the outer path.
When a player reaches "end" he receives $200
and can end the game if he thinks he has the most
money. If now he can go around again (he still gets
the $200.) When game is ended, most money wins.
Looked in Macy's. Nothing of interest.
