SUNDAY 13 AUGUST Twelfth Sunday after Trinity 1967 225th day - 140 days to come

Looked thru material Martin Gardner left with me.

Played TAKE-A-NUMBER with BB and the Fredericks. They liked it. Think it would be a good idea, when played by 2 or more players, to give the player making the highest score on a throw a bonus of 40 points and the 2nd highest a bonus of 20 points. Play to, say, 5 throws and high total score wins. Showed VENTURE CAPITAL to the Fredericks. They saw that they would like to play it. Jerry gave me Sci. Am. columns that brings me up to date thru Aug. 1967. Fay called. More complaints about Claude.

(cont. from 8/14) [8/14] on the spinner used in the space for that spinner. He does not play or replace any tiles. Play until all tiles have been used. High score wins.

COUNTDOWN (Lowe) :- Sells for $7 but is really a children's game. Move around a board getting parts of a rocket which must be assembled. Players can get parts they don't need and trading can be conducted between players, or selling. There are various kinds of "chance" cards. After a player assembles his rocket he must complete a "countdown" by getting 25 or more in 3 throws of 2 dice. (Rough idea.) Bought HIGH SOCIETY (House of James).

At Lamston's saw HIDE 'N THIEF (Whitman). Board, plastic "house" markers, "money bag" pieces, trucks, some kind of "stop" piece. Players hide their "money bags" and their "stop" pcs. under some of their houses and then all the houses are placed on the board. Players move their trucks around according to dice throws. Look under houses when pass by and take "money bags" and put in truck. If find a "stop" piece give "money bags" back to original owners who rehide them. Can only get two "money bags" in a truck. When truck is loaded must still look at houses passes. Any "money bags" are returned to owners for rehiding. First to get two "bags" to bank wins. At Lamston's saw bought ADULT GAMES (Dell Books). Contains a few psychological game ideas.

Rcd. another letter from Haar Hoolim and sent one to him thanking him for DO-RE-MI.

August Playthings came.

Dave Epstien called. Herb Ahrend likes some of his (cont. on 8/12)
