THURSDAY 14 SEPTEMBER
1967 257th day - 108 days to come
Notes copied by from THE FAMILY GAME BOOK by Robert V. Masters.
ETERNAL TRIANGLES :- BOXES played with the following field:
[diagram of ten dots laid out like bowling pins (row of 1, then row of 2, then row of 3, then row of 4)]
WORD BRIDGES :- Players in turn choose a 6 letter word
which is written as follows:-
F______R Object to make the longest words
E______E possible in each space. Longest
N______D in each bridge scores 5 points. Then
D______N each player counts all his letters
E______E and adds them to his bridge
R______F bonuses and the highest total
wins. He subtracts the letters
used by the other players and the result is his score.
(What if the result is minus?) 50 or 100 wins.
CRACKY :- Author's name for WORD SQUARES.
EVERY OTHER :- Players put down every other letter of a
word, starting with the 2nd. Then a definition. Each
tries to solve the other's. After experience, try playing
without definitions:- (Example) -i-t-o-a-y "A wordy
book."
SAFARI :- "5 in a row" played on a checker board by 2.
Each has 12 checkers, which are moved if no one wins
in the placing.
Fay called. Some big-shot woman objected to TREASURE HUNT
that the audience had nothing to do. I reminded Fay that I
had brought that up. She didn't remember but said that she
is very stupid. She wants me, BB, Claude, and Anne to
think of ways of changing it, and will not hand it in till it
has been fixed. I said I'd try but doubt if I'll come
up with anything.
Rcd. letter from F. Daniel. He wants to know if he can
do something with NUMBER FOOTBALL on his own or is
he obligated to I-S.
