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. Each player has a set of 15 "vote"
cards with from 5 to 1 votes noted on them. (5 of 1,
4 of 2, 3 of 3, 2 of 4, 1 of 5). Standing on their plat-
forms the players try to throw their cards into the
hat. If a player can reach another player's missed
card he can pick it up. Others just remain on the
floor. After all cards have been thrown there is a
scramble for votes and all players pick up as many
missed cards as they can. Then there is a bargaining
session where players trade to get back their own
cards. Then they go back to their platforms. This
can be repeated one or two more times. Most votes
in the hat wins. Only those touching the bottom are
counted unless there is a tie in which case the
tying players can count any that are on the brim
At my father's tried flipping cards into a bowl.
Fun.
