Called Jules Cooper. Made an appointment for next Saturday.

Alice Felicia called. Alice was talking to Larry Winters and wanted Bill Bentzin's phone number. Gave it to Felicia. She'll call me with more info. Mentioned ad for THE ADVERTISING GAME. Said that Brentanos would have it.

Claude called. Paul is having a stock m holder's meeting next Thursday. He invited Claude who is working. He suggested me. I called Paul & told him I'm busy but would come is he thought I could help. He said that it wasn't that important. So I'm not going. His backer decided not to come in, but he'll go ahead anyway. Wants to take along RED LETTER & GO SEE- A GLOBAL HOLIDAY when he goes on a vacation after x'mas, I was somewhat noncommittal.

numbers is throw as the total of 2 dice. When get 5 pads can try for a launch. A double (again with 3 throws) is required for this. Then move along path to moon. Then must launch again from moon. May use countdown numbers for destroying an opponent's pad if desired. (Rough idea.) (Put out by Atech, N.Y. 1966) Also saw FACULTY CARDS again. This follows the play of CANASTA, except that melds are words and score by the points on the cards, I think. Words can be added too but cannot be changed around (probably would be more interesting to allow this). There is nothing equivalent to red or black 3's.

Also saw TYCOON (P.) This is the same game as I have - originally put out by H.C. Jacoby Co.

Also saw ACQUIRE and the new rules are not in it yet. A woman was looking for a game for her son & I sold her on Acquire.

At Henri Bendel saw THE ADVERTISING GAME (Archive Div. of Caldwell-Davis). There is a board showing blocks in midtown Manhattan. Players move by move throw of 2 dice, starting at Grand Central Station (black rectangle on board- see Ad 1966 folder). A move is made by counting street intersections as one move each except that a black dot halfway on a block [illegible crossed off word] must be stopped on as the last count. Players can choose their path except that they cannot go the wrong way on a one-way street or go around a block to use up a move. May Many blocks have the names of companies which purchase advertising. When a player lands on the black dot for this a company he may prepare a presentation for $10,000.
