Sent away for VENTURE using a Shapiro Associates envelope.

Claude called. He saw the following game [crossed out] advertised in the Wall St. Journal. It seems to have a lot of equipment and they say it is a game of skill:- THE CREDIBILITY GAP GAME } $5.95 + $0.55 mailing Amherst Games Box 5, South Pleasant St. Amherst, Massachusetts 01002 He also mentioned the INSTANT FUN ad and saw Scarne's CHALLENGE for 50¢. I already have it.

Played OSMOSIS with BB & Dana. When 3 play use the Ace down thru 7 in 3 suits. 8 cards are dealt to each. The first player leads a card to the player on his left. That player must do one of 3 things:- Play a card of the same suit which is higher. Play the 7 of the suit or a card in sequence with the 7 (showing the lower ones to prove the sequence.) Play any 2 other cards. The played cards are switched between the players and placed face up in front of them. The player played to then plays to the player on his left. Etc. Leads must be from the hand but answering plays can be from either the hand, or the table, or both. As soon as a player plays the last card from his hand he immediately picks up all the cards on the table before him as a new hand. When a player, at picking up, finds he has only 4 or less cards remaining he loses and the other players each re- ceive a score of the number of cards they have in their hand and on the table. When a player, at picking up, finds he has 11 or more cards he wins and only he scores the number of cards he has.

Jerry D'Arcey called. Will get together for lunch tomor- row, since he is leaving Friday afternoon and I am busy tomorrow night.
