FRIDAY 9 JUNE 1967
160th day - 205 days to come


Called Bill Bentzin. He is going to Minnesota next week and
he'll try to get my clippings. Will send me the
3M sports games as soon as he gets samples. Told me
to call him again in about 2 weeks.

Thought of 2 ideas for M.B.
GAME idea, Have sets of six cards with various fanciful
pictures and names such as "Martians", "Great Gloops", etc. Ther is one set of 6 cards for each player in
the game. One of each set is marked as a chief.
The cards are shuffled and dealt out so that each player
gets 6 cards. The p A player with a chief card
tries to locate the other five of his group and get
them to go with him. The first chief to collect his
whole group gets a certain number of points, from which
he must pay out his promises to the members of his
group - except that a player can only belong to one
group. First group completed should get the most points,
etc. This game, of course, is similar to PAYOFF.

HAT IN THE RING. Up to 5 can play. Each player has
a "soapbox" which is a slightly raised platform about
16" x 16". These platforms are set around a "hat" which
is made like a flat straw hat ansd is placed upside
down on the floor.
