TUESDAY 29 AUGUST
1967 241st day - 124 days to come
Called Michael Laurence at PLAYBOY. Asked if I could use two extra pages
for material. He wasn't thrilled at the idea, but if the game is good.
He is also worried about my putting in too many hours, at $15, if it doesn't
work out. I said that I didn't expect much if I don't come up with some-
thing good.
Clipped an obituary for Charles B. Darrow from today's Times. Mentioned
MONOPOLY & BULLS AND BEARS. Filed in "Articles from Periodicals"
Folder.
At Barnes & Noble bought CARDANO THE GAMBLING SCHOLAR. Contains
a description of PRIMERO.
Claude called. Told him of one of my POKER variations. (3)
During day thought of 3 variations of POKER.
(1) Cards are layed out in a grid. Players move by a knight's move, picking up
cards. After each round, each player picking a card, there is a
round of betting. Can play 5 or 7 card. KNIGHT MOVE POKER.
(2) All the players chip to a pot. Each player is given one card
face down. Then as many cards are dealt face up as there are
players. Players bid for the right to pick cards a card from
the table. A bid is made by putting forward a chip or chips. Every
player must make a bid and all bids must be different. The highest
bid picks first, etc. AUCTION POKER.
(3) 54 cards are placed in 6 columns of 9 each, all visible. Players
in turn pick the top card from one of the columns. When hands are
completed they are scored by a point scale (still to be worked out).
Play to some set total. GAME.
Also thought that watch WATCH could easily be played with
regular cards.

Alice and I agreed that she would write to X and tell them we would
want an answer on VENTURE CAPITAL soon since we want to show
it to someone else.
Later I called Alice to complain that Par PARTY POLITICS would com-
pete with NOMINATION. Will discuss it with her again when after I play
it.
Started making a new balance & inventory sheet for
VEN EXECUTIVE DECISION.
