21 TUESDAY - MARCH 1972
81ST DAY - 265 DAYS TO COME
Rcd. the 1971 tax returns from Leonard Willett and
ammended Federal returns for 1969 & 1970. A number of
calls to Leonard and to Boston Road for some repros.
Made the changes in the POTENTIAL rules to adjust for
(7) & (11) instead of (5) & (10). BB typed them and I put in
the diagrams. Got repros at Boston Road.
Made a set of cards for DIALEMMA and played with BB. Good.
After playing thought of this idea for a two-hand game -
probably as an optional rules : - In a continuing move one of
the dotted lines can be ignored if desired and if no
other line is open the move can continue.
Thinking about DRILL FOR OIL. Instead of giving double
gushers by for a lucky throw, let players take a
chance on them. A player calls for a "double gusher". He
must make a total of ten or over to succeed, otherwise
it is "dry". For a "quadruple gusher" he must make a total
of twelve or over. All adjacent oil wells are counted
at all times. Use this change in addition to the one
giving an extra well for getting all in one area. Maybe
it might be better to give two extra.
Rcd. a call from
{David Eisendrath
{MA 4-3222
He is a very old friend of Martin Gardner's, who gave
him my number.
David is a friend of Professor Mark Odier who is a Frenchman.
Odier has invented some games, some of which have been
published in France. One is LE TRIOKER (the rules of
which I got from Pierre Berloquin). Odier is interested in
having games published here and David is helping him purely
as a friend. I spoke about agents, both Felicia and
Tom Atwater. He'll, David, come here some time to see my collection
and to show me some of Odier's games. Also, I believe, he'll
bring me a copy of LE TRIOKER (to keep?).
(cont. from 3/25) [3/31]
She spoke to Frank Armbruster. He told her about his
"personality series". (This after I said that game companies
don't want inventor's names on their games.) I told her
about POTENTIAL.
She will see that I get a copy of her article.
She heard of me from Jack Davis & also from Mike Alber.
Drove her to Woodlawn train. Told her not to hesitate if I
could her [help?] her further.// Her telephone number
