Worked out new arrangement of letters in<u> PAYOFF</u>.
In evening played a few games of <u>FOCUS</u> with myself,  <br>
having the 2nd player mimic the 1st and looking for an  <br>
opportunity to gain an advantage. The 2nd player can  <br>
<s>w</s> win if the first is careless. However I think that if  <br>
the first player is careful to completely disengage he  <br>
can keep the 2nd from gaining any advantage.

<u>HOODWINK</u> (Lowe) - Another version of <u>LIAR'S DICE</u>.  <br>
<u>TIDDLE POKER</u> - a layout with about 25 cards. Four raised  <br>
felt pads at one end for shooting winks onto the  <br>
layout.
At Gimbel's saw <u>RACK-O</u>. The scoring has been jazzed  <br>
up somewhat. Added the changes to my set.
Further info. on <u>WHEEL & DEAL</u>. There is a series of airline  <br>
spaces and another of TV Channel spaces. A player owning  <br>
1 collects the face value. If he owns more than 1 of a series  <br>
he collects the total face value of all of them each time  <br>
any one of them is landed upon.
Sent a check to Alice for her cut on <u>ACQUIRE</u>.
