FRIDAY 12 JANUARY
1968 12th day - 354 days to come
At B and N saw INCOME TAX and CREDIBILITY GAP in addition to
the 3M games. Later told Alice so that she can try to
get BALI there. Looked at "Income Tax". Looks much more
like work than fun. There are problem sheets to fill out and
players are scored on who well they do.
Looked at Martin Gardner's 2nd book from Scientic American [Scientific American],
at the addenda to ELEUSIS. He mentions the possibility of
an induction GAME played with an array of 10 x 10. Tiles
are placed in this array in some kind of a definite
pattern and then turned over so that only blank
sides show. The other players in turn turn over a tile
and try to induce the pattern. My thought is the idea
of having the players make a prediction of the color by
so on some kind of device before the tile is turned and
give them scores for being correct.
Martin also mentioned BATTLESHIPS as being an induction
game and a party game about going on a trip. One part
player chooses a rule to determine what is permissable
to pack and others in turn suggest items and are
told whether they are permissable or not. Try to guess
the rule. Rules can be simple or different.
Went to Alice's Apt. to sign the TRIPLE CROSS contract. Mailed
the copy back to X and took our copy home. Also took
back INFINITE PLANE and PAYOFF until after toy fair when
Alice will begin showing again.
Rcd. a letter from Bob Claude @ 3M. He is sending me their
4 educational games and would like my comments.
Claude called me from his nephew's. They were playing
BAZAAR. They liked it but were not crazy about it.
