JOURNEYS OF ST. PAUL
YEAR OF OUR LORD [Arrow connecting from 'Toys & Novelties".]
293rd day - 73 days to come

Finished writing up MATE.
TOYS & NOVELTIES came. Had 2
new religious games by A&H.
Doctored up a checkerboard for playing BLUE AND GRAY. BB & I played
a game. I won. Saw that it could be possible to reach an impasse.
Decided to make the captain who is further advanced the winner.

Looked thru my card file of patents and found two humerous ones.
Wrote an introduction and started the rules of BLUE AND GRAY.

At Floyd's bought STAR TREK. Saw an exact imitation of
INSTANT INSANITY from Hong Kong for 49 [cents]. Don't remember the name.

trump can be either one of the five numbers on the Set of triples. In a suit I am not sure of the order but I am sure that the triple is the highest and I think the doubles are next Score 1 for each trick made up to bid and two for each overtricke i think), Don't know! penalty for set, (Rough idead Game sells for $12.) At spiegel's saw a series of by Fernal in England, The following three seemed to be about the same, I 2 sides play Each has a car without wheels, At start throw dice and put on wheels for each 6 thrown once car is assembied place it on a gadget there is one for each side.. which has a path which um winds like a scroll. certain Spaces call for penalties ite. First to reach end of Scroll wins, RALLYE MONTE CARLO, VETERAN CAR GAME, INDIANOPOLIS. SLALOM by Fernal also, consists of some fancy 3 dimensional material but seems to be a simple dice nace. SHOW JUMPING by Fernal also is the same (I am pretty sure) as the game I saw last year in B. Altman, (See 1967
diary.)

He said it was probably Joe's hater called information and got i Joe's Book Mart Id Nassau at Park Row i co 2-0448 Asked Jim about WAGONWHEEL CHESS.
