FRIDAY 2 AUGUST
1968 215th day - 151 days to come
At Klein's saw IRONSIDE (Ideal). It claims to be a deduction game
but actually it is a board game of moving around a board
to pick up a suspect card and 4 cards that prove his guilt.
[crossed out sentence] Each
suspect has two cards that only apply to him (there are 4 sus-
pects) and the other two cards come from a group that apply
to the sex of the suspect. Basicly a Rummy game.
Spoke to Alice. Since she wasn't in the office she doesn't know if
Hank Simmons' letter came. I told her of Frank Thibault's
plug for BALI. She would like a reproduction.
Called Jerry D'Arcey. He is also going to Parker and we will get
together there on Aug. 6.
Spoke to Frank Thibault. He got a $500 advance on REGATTA
and got a little more than $500 for the 2nd quarter. He likes
BAZAAR and so do his children, even the very young ones.
The 2nd quarter check for ACQUIRE & BAZAAR came.
Worked on a second set of pcs. for FITTING & PROPER.
BB typed the WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? rules and finished ANOTHER.
Put in the outline of the diagrams but left out the num-
bers until after I make the reproductions.
At night realized that the scoring I was intending to use for
POOLWORD was the same as the BALI scoring. Trying to think
of an alternate. Earlier in day was working on the letter dis-
tribution.
[bracket drawn and arrow noted on Thursday, August 1 page].
Friday
Thought of a new scoring for POOLWORD, using a length bonus.
The proportions are very similar to BALI.
Made reproductions of ANOTHER and WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? rules.
Alice called. A note came from Laughridge, I should call Hank Simmons
when I get into Salem next Tuesday.
Deposited the 3M check and sent a check to Alice.
Finished a second set of pieces for FITTING & PROPER.
