FRIDAY 22 OCTOBER 1971
295th day - 70 days to come
Rcd. another "Edmund Scientific Catalog" also addressed
to Dana. I kept it.
Rcd. an answer to the SLEUTH problem. He pointed
that I had given an extra fact - which I did as a
red herring.
Claude and Anne over. Gave him a copy of Pierre's
LE LIVRE DES JEUX.
We played Claude's game MANIPULATION. I have info on
it in "Board Games 2" Folder. Marked the revisions on this sheet.
BB won, much too suddenly for my taste.
Wrote to Bernie Lane, a covering letter for my resume.
In the game of MANIPULATION Claude encouraged players
to bargain with the player whose turn it is to throw
the die, offering him money to choose a certain color
marker to move, or to promise not to move a certain
color, etc.
Once the color is picked the player throws the
die and moves the marker of that color. If it lands
on an occupied space it moves ahead to the next
empty one. From the end of the track move to the
beginning, keeping the count. Position in determining
the situation is measured from the end of the track -
1st - to the beginning of the track - last.
(cont. from 12/16) [12/16]
have, which he did.
Showed him the letter from Keith Tuggle concerning the
"Mystery" and "Knowledge" games. Doubt if he will work on it.
Claude asked if I thought his SPLIT PERSONALITY would
be good for Hallmark. Checked in my records and had
some info on a game of this name but it is not the
same version Claude is talking about. This one has drawings
of faces split into two halves on two cards. They are moved
around a bourd with the object of getting your two
halves together and then move them to some objective. When
you move one of your halves onto a space with an opponent's
opposite half you can move it. Where you want
to go. (Rough idea. Claude will fill me in on it.)
Earl Perel got turned down on his load from the S.B.A. He was
depressed.
Claude picked up a copy of VINCE LOMBARDI'S GAME with a
broken box for me for $1.
