WEDNESDAY 27 FEBRUARY
Ash Wednesday 1963 58th day - 307 days to come
Exhibited Foreign games at hobby show at P.S. 121.
Ruth Snell told me of Jewish game played at
hollydays similar to simplified Mancala
Each played has two saucers with 3 nuts in
each.
[diagram with ten circles in circle pattern, clockwise from top labeled B, C, D, E, A]
Starting with first player each empties, except
leaving one
When a saucer is "emptied" one nut is always left
in it (unlike Mancala).
Each layer in turn "empties" first his right and then
his left saucer - in a clockwise direction. When the last nut
lands in a saucer with one nut the two are captured.
With these rules the results are, of course, prede-
termined.

One woman suggested getting in touch with foreign
department stores to get games.
