Monday 19 December 1966 353rd day - 12 days to come

Gave Ken Hiller in our office a FOCUS booklet.

Spoke to Arthur. He saw the ACQUIRE ad in the Times (12/9). On the same day he saw it in another paper, possibly the News but he is not sure. I was annoyed about this but he wouldn't have understood if I told him.

In a letter from Walt there was a GAME idea for a card word game. Arthur will wake up the equipment and play around with it.

To Gimbels: -Nothing. To Woolworth: -Looked at rules for TROKE (At home checked my copy of [ineligible crossed out word] TROQUE and the new rules for TROKE are included - having copied them from Bob Abbot's set.)

At Macy's saw: - SPIN OUT which is a new name for FORMULA - 1. BOX - BINGO - played with two dice and nine numbers (1 to 9) which have sliding covers. Throw the two dice and cover 1 or 2 numbers totaling to the throw. When all numbers left are under (I think) 6, throw 1 die, object to have least total uncovered. SEDUCTION - a wild board game with .no-holds-barred sex 4 play, 2 men & 2 women. The rules were missing on the two sets there so I couldn't buy it. 4 play, 2 men & 2 women and the markers are numbered from 1 to 4. Apparently each member of a sex is pursued by one member and pursues one member of the opposite sex. The board has 2 paths around the edge, the men's on the outside and the women's on the inside. In the four corners there are four bedrooms, 1 for each player. Most of the other spaces represent places, such as "Putz & Balls"- a gold course (I think). Some spaces are marked "Quickie" and when these are landed on a player takes a "Quickie card" which direct them to go someplace (such as "The Bard's Corner" "where maidenheads were deflowered"). They also sometimes direct them to draw another "Rendezvous" card which I believe are the cards corresponding to the place spaces on the board. They also can direct you to expose "Rendezvous" cards or to return them or exchange them. They also can cause you to lose or gain "Seduction" points, which are represented by cards with values of 1, 2, or 5. You gain seduction points when you pass your own bedroom. At times a player can have a choice of actions depending on their reaction to a situation. For example one of the female "Quickie" cards says "You are wearing your lowest dress when your date whirls you around and suddenly you are topless---", There are then 3 different moves to be made depending on the reaction. Game was put out by CREA TEK P.O. Box 25297 Los Angeles, Calif. The price was $7.95.
