TUESDAY 11 OCTOBER 1966 284th day - 81 days to come

Thought of a variation of the GAME. I showed Claude yesterday. Use a 4x4 quadrille. A space can be entered over and over spaces with an even num odd number of crosses can be passed over, but those with an even number cannot be passed over. Otherwise the same as yesterday.

Alice called. She asked if I had heard of KABOOM which is listened as being a big hit. I have seen it. It is a game of blowing up balloons to bursting. Didn't see the rules. Also Avalon-Hill has a new game SHAKESPEARE which is packaged like the 3M games and is called "Bookcase." She mentioned that HIGH BID made about as much ACQUIRE for the 2nd Quarter of this year. This seems strange since Acquire is supposed to be running in the lead.

A fellow from Schocht Stl. I spoke to on the phone was interested in my games and I promised to send him a copy of the FOCUS booklet.

Called Arthur. Nothing new. Tentative date to get together for supper next Monday, if O.K. with Claude.

BB received a catalog from Creative Playthings. They list ON SETS for $4.

Looked for information on Claude's game NEXT. Didn't have it.

Thought of a variation of the GAME. I showed Claude yesterday.
Use a 4x4 quadrille. A space can be entered over and over
spaces with an even num odd number of crosses can be passed
over, but those with an even number cannot be passed over.
Otherwise the same as yesterday.
Alice called. She asked if I had heard of KABOOM which is
listened as being a big hit. I have seen it. It is a game
of blowing up balloons to bursting. Didn't see the rules.
Also Avalon-Hill has a new game SHAKESPEARE which is
packaged like the 3M games and is called "Bookcase."
She mentioned that HIGH BID made about as much ACQUIRE for
the 2nd Quarter of this year. This seems strange since Acquire
is supposed to be running in the lead.
A fellow from Schocht Stl. I spoke to on the phone was
interested in my games and I promised to send him a
copy of the FOCUS booklet.
Called Arthur. Nothing new. Tentative date to get together
for supper next Monday, if O.K. with Claude.
BB received a catalog from Creative Playthings. They list
ON SETS for $4.
Looked for information on Claude's game NEXT. Didn't have it.
