mines which kind of piece must be played next. - signi-
fies a falling pc. Same signifies the same type of piece.

Saw IRONSIDES (Ideal. Didn't look at it.
Saw PERSONALITY (MB). From a TV game. Book of questions
at various levels of sophistication. A question is read
off and each writes an answer on a magic slate. The
answers are mixed up and then read. Each player places a
peg in a space (in a plastic gadget) representing the player he
thinks wrote the answer. The player who wrote the answer places
a peg in someone else as camouflage. After 5 questions score
1 point for each right guess. (Fairly complete.)
Saw Jean Dixon's GAME OF DESTINY (MB.) Seems to have extra large
tarot cards but couldn't see any of the details.
Saw a good supply of 3M bookshelf games with ACQUIRE having
the least. Similar situation @ Gimbel's.
At Gimbels also saw BIG FUNERAL.
The new edition of VIET NAM that Phil Orbanes sent me arrived.
The 6 copies of BAZAAR that Jim Morgan sent arrived. My new
rules were not used.
May PLAYTHINGS came. mentioned that a new company, The Daystar Co., 201
old Bristol Pike, Pristol, Pa., has purchased two card games -
DUTCH BLITZ and DUTCH BLITZ, JR. from Werner Muller. The two
games have reportedly been very popular in a six-state area in-
cluding New England for the past seven years. I saw this in Phila.
Several years ago (see 1965).
