WEDNESDAY 14 SEPTEMBER
1966 257th day - 108 days to come

In Paris :-
At Naine Blue bought DÉFENSE D'AFFICHER.
Saw ASCOT which is the same as TOTOPOLY & RISK.

At Aux Trois Quartiers dept. store bought TOUS RISQUES
& L'ECHAPPÉE.
Saw TORDU. This is a bidding game played with
a special 40 card deck with 5 suits. (Probably
8 in a suit.) Players (how many?) are dealt a
hand (probably all the cards - how about 3 players?).
[left margin: (Rough idea)] Bid for the number of tricks a player thinks
he can make. The winning bidder names a trump.
He loses a 1 point for each trick he is off in his
bid. Under some conditions the scoring is 3-2.
Saw LA BOURSE AUX IDÉES. Played with a special deck of
90 cards. There are 18 sets of 5 cards consisting of
1 idea card and 4 cards working out the idea. Each
player is dealt 12 cards. Each player in turn plays
2 cards and then replaces them from the deck. The
working out cards are played in piles, one for each
idea. When a player completes the idea by playing
the 4th card, he takes in that idea invention. If he
also has the idea card that corresponds, it is worth
more. Don't remember the scoring. After the deck is
exhausted, there is a period when players can offer
idea cards for sale. (Don't remember the details.)
Then the remaining cards are played out 1 at a
time (I think).
