SUNDAY 21 MAY Trinity Sunday 1967 141st day - 224 days to come

Finished rules for PAYOFF and also a few notes on its original and the mathematical basis of payof payments to players. BB typed it.

Made a set of numbers to use with TAKE-A-NUMBER.

(continued from 5/24) [5/22] THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY GAME (Alpsco) Based on the book. Mr. Samuels of Alpsco wouldn't even let me go near it. The equipment seemed quite attractive.

WATCH :- Played a game with Mr. Gary. He won.

WHAT'S THAT ON MY HEAD:- A book store in Westchester bought 6 copies while I was there.

Taylor Press:- CHUTZPAH - a yiddish MONOPOLY (sheet in ad Clips.). The fellow said that they were interested in buying some new pad games, to be played with pencils. I said I'd keep them in mind.

T.A.G. :- ANALYSIS:- a board path game played, I was told, by using word association. Win when you get rid of all your neurosis and reach the end space. (Very rough idea.) LIAR'S POKER :- The same game as that played with dollar bills, but they have trademarked the name. Played with cards con- taining numbers similar to serial numbers on dollar bills. WORD :- Pads with different arrangements of spaces in lines, vertical and horizontal, and meeting at their ends. Letters are called on in turn by the players (I think) and they are filled in at will trying to make as many words as possible. (Rough idea.) EAGLES :- [diagram of 8 x 8 grid with 8 of each white and black circles] Played on a checker board. Each player has 8 pcs. (shaped like eagles) set up as shown. Moves are either a single space in any direction (or is this allow- able?) or a jump or series of jumps in any combination of directions. Jumps can be over friendy or enemy pieces in any order. Enemy pieces are taken when jumped over. Win by eliminating opponent.

Went to Fay's. We went over part of her presentation of TREASURE HUNT and tried to straighten out some of the cities. Didn't finish but she is going to continue working on it.

Called Claude. Told him about the Stationery Show. He told me about sheets of wood with different shaped cutouts which he bought. I can have some if I have any use for it. (cont. on 5/19)
