A buyer mentioned the following three games as being sim-
ilar to their SUM TIMES:- SUM FUN, THE WINNING TOUCH, SMARTY
and Bob asked me if I knew about them. I had him call me in the evening and gave him info on the first two from
the 1963 diary. The third I didn't have but I know remem-
ber seeing it- a children's arithmetic game.
Told him a little about STATEMENT. He said they are interested
in any game by Sid Sackson. They have a new girl who does
the preliminary review on all the games. Harry Cunningham has
left the game program.
Vitos Products:- SCATTER BRAIN. A plastic mat with a
center circle and scoring spaces around it (square in
sp shape). Players build a tower of different shaped
wood pieces [letter crossed out]. When it falls the player into whose scoring
spaces the blocks land received the value shown for
each piece. I mentioned that it was similar to BLOCKHEAD
and the Salesman said they had theirs first.
THE TREASURE QUEST:- Different sets of clue cards to be
hidden around the room for home "treasure hunts".
The Barrett Game Group Inc.
CABOODLE, CORNER, CORNER IV. These are games which give a
constantly changing set of prices and occasional special hap-
penings. It is not quite random but it is (I was told) pro-
grammed for 2000 hours before it repeats. "Caboodle", the
Real Estate Game ($150) seems particularly good. The infor-
mation is all on the ad clips filed in the 1968 folder.
