mines which kind of piece must be played next. - signi- fies a falling pc. Same signifies the same type of piece. + signifies a rising piece. [Game sells for $8.]
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).
