SATURDAY 23 DECEMBER 1967 <br> | |||
Ember Day <br> | |||
357th day - 8 days to come | |||
---- | |||
The copy of <u>MR. PRESIDENT</u> Bill Bentzin had sent to me came. <br> | |||
It seems like one of the best games in the 3M line. | |||
Rcd. a letter from Jim Morgan saying they were delighted <br> | |||
at my satisfaction <s>in</s> with <u>BAZAAR</u>. They can most likely take <br> | |||
care of the missing star, if they go into regular production. | |||
Rcd. a nice card from F. Daniel. | |||
Worked out a card game for two which I later called <br> | |||
<u>SUIT YOURSELF</u>. Played it with Dana in two forms. <br> | |||
First) Deal out a 52 card deck int 6 columns as <br> | |||
even as possible and with cards placed so that all are visible. <br> | |||
Each player in turn takes all the cards of one suit that <br> | |||
are at the top of the columns, his choice of suit. Player with most <br> | |||
cards wins. In case of tie, 2nd player wins. <br> | |||
Second) Deal out a 52 card deck into 5 columns as even as <br> | |||
possible. In taking cards of a suit two or more in a row <br> | |||
at the topof a column are taken together. The first player <br> | |||
takes one card, the 2nd a maximum of 2, then the first <br> | |||
a maximum of 3, etc. until one player <s>cannot, l</s> does <br> | |||
not take his maximum, after which there is no limitation <br> | |||
This version was much better. | |||
Played <u>SUIT YOURSELF</u> with Phil Laurence. He liked it and beat <br> | |||
me. He suggested a variation. Count the score like in <br> | |||
<u>CASINO</u>. Sounded like a good idea. | |||
Played <u>BAZAAR</u> with BB, Annette & Phil. (Brought them a copy.) <br> | |||
Annette won by repeated buying with lots of chips left <br> | |||
over. I got worried that I should have prohibited players <br> | |||
from buying with more than 3 chips left over. | |||
Sent a letter to J. Scarne Gamps (See 12/30) asking where <br> | |||
I could buy book on <u>SKARNEY</u>. (Filed with Martin Gardner <br> | |||
correspondance.) |
