SATURDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 1967 273rd day - 92 days to come

At Polk's saw SPACE ACE GAME. A single path game thru the planets of the solar system. Move by dice. Chance type cards. Object to get a souvenir on each planet. (Very rough idea.)

At Altman's saw SHOW JUMPING. This is a game made up in England specifically for Altman's. A horse jumping course is constructed using plastic pieces. Several different layouts are shown & instructions for devising others are included. At each jump there is a specific number which must be thrown on dice to clear. Keep track of the number of throws taken for each jump. After the number is thrown the player draws a card which tells if there were any faults in the jump. There are faults also for taking more than a specified number of throws for the entire course. Player with lowest fault score wins. (Fairly complete idea.)

Ran off a number of EXECUTIVE DECISION prints. Also ran off repros for Mike Abrams.

Fay called. She wanted to know if I could change TREASURE HUNT so that several hundred players in the audience could play it simultaneously. I said I doubted it but that I'd think about it.

With Phil & Annette started a game of EXECUTIVE DECISION very late at night. All too tired to concentrate. Also played 4-hand ANOTHER partnership. They loved it and felt I should make it up with a board and special cards and try to sell it. Annette's sister wanted to know if 3M would contribute some games as door prizes for their PTA affair. I said I'd check with Bill Bentzin what their policy is.
