SATURDAY 18 DECEMBER
1971 352nd day - 13 days to come
From Pantheon rcd. a transmitted letter from an AGOG
reader asking where to buy HAAR HOOLIM PERCEPTION GAMES.
Made a model of DIALEMMA with wood and pegs made
from plastic toothpicks. Also put extensions on the
hands in different places for the different colors.
Brought a NINE OF SWORDS to the Sternbergs. They
and the other guests were interested in it.
Also brought DIALEMMA which was tried a little with-
out success. Brought LOTTERY and equipment for
ISOLATION but we didn't play.
When getting the NINE OF SWORDS to bring I found
that two copies had broken swords, 1 in each.
BB's friend Edith would like a copy to give her
daughter, I told BB, o.k.
Looked at the rules of LAWSUIT and probably will offer to redo them.
(cont. from 12/17) [12/17]
[Diagram of a 6 x 7 grid inside a larger square which seems to be a game board. It has rectangular spaces labelled 'Cards', 'Used Cards', 'Lottery Tickets', and 'Lottery Money'. The grid's left-most column is labelled N.Y., CHI., LA, PHIL, HOUS, DET, BALT. with each square having an arrow pointing to the right. The other squares are in one of five colors - orange, red, green, blue, purple.]
One die in one direction and the other at right angles.
Decided against both of these.
However thought of having a
board as shown. Players move from
r left to right and then drop to the
next row. This would make it a lot
easier to see who has what. Cards
Also decided to would be drawn
when a player lands on a city.
Another thought, since doubles
are too frequent with the new
dice, have the players throw the
three dice. Have one of the blank
faces on the third die read "buy."
When this is thrown the player can
buy the office landed on for $1000
times the ger product of the other two dice.
Another thought. Instead of every player starting
in one place, let them pick their city so that one doesn't
have to follow directly behind another.
Finished my letter to Pierre Berloguin. Mentioned S&T, ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II, LE LIVRE DES JEUX, BIG FUNERAL, WATCH, LE ZIP, LE PANTAMINO, and LE MONDE DES AFFAIRES.
(BB typed this and yesterday's letter.)
