SATURDAY 12 AUGUST
1967 224th day - 141 days to come
Call from Fay. She wants to take another person's
Stock Market game and wants Claude to sign
a release.
At Honig's saw MADAME PLANCHETTE HOROSCOPE GAME. See
1967 S & R catalog for board. There are 52
"good fortune" and 40 "bad fortune" cards. There are
also 12 "destiny" cards. Each player draws one of
the "destiny" cards and it indicates a position on the
zodiac and two "planet" positions, one dark and one
light. (Eg. Aquarius's Dark-Mars; Light-Moon). In some
way a token is placed on the zodiac track for each
player, and a black and white marker on the heavenly body
track. In turn players throw two dice and move their
own marker, in either direction (I think) the number of one
die and one of the "planet" marker the other die. They try
to end up with their own marker and the two "planet"
markers in the position given on their "destiny" cards. If
at the end of any player's turn a player's token is in a space
adjoining the light marker they draw a "good fortune"
card. Dark marker - a "bad" fortune card. If a player moves
his token onto a space which is one vertice of a [triangle]
the other two vertices being occupied, that player can
throw off some "bad fortune" cards (why not give them to
other players?). The first to fulfill their "destiny" card
gets their fortune told by a "Planchette". (It would be
easy enough to devise a scoring system. 2 to 5 can play
and the game is recommended for young ladies. (Fairly
complete rules.)
Played MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS with the Horns, Marylin,
and Dave. They were not too much impressed. One point
in the rules is not clear. If two spies are in a murder
situation, then the detective "sees" the murdered spy
in a later hour, after which the detective moves away
leaving them in the same murder situation. Is the
murder committed in the hour following the detective's
departure?

material, particularly the Golf game. Wanted to know how much
to ask for. I told him to try for a payment per item or not
less than $500 as a flat payment.
