2 SUNDAY - APRIL 1972
EASTER DAY - 273 DAYS TO COME
Thinking of an idea for a p. & p. solitaire GAME. Play on
a 15 by 10 field divided into 6 5x5 fields, numbered
from 1 to 6. Throw three dice and put marks in
any space in two of the fields thrown, starting with
A and, after 10 throws, ending with T. Then start in
a corner and throw three dice. Move a right angled
move using 2 of the 3. Then leave one die and throw the
other 2. Win by reaching all 20 letters in order. Mark
each space as visited. Lose if no move is possible and
not all of the letters have been reached. A 6 can be used
as a 6 or as a 0.
Called Claude and made a date for 4/13. He hasn't been
doing any work on games lately.

that I would be the feature guest on a game discussion. Jack
was annoyed about his going back on it, after taking the games.
I told Jack about the party for THE GODFATHER GAME and how the
games were grabbed.
They are moving in about a month or so, but are keeping their telephone
number.
I will call Jack with a report on the Xerox exhibit.
There were three telephone calls while I was gone, all men asking
for Mr. Sackson. They all asked when I'd be back. Dana didn't
get their addres names. // Marvin Katz telephone no. {[phone]}.
Marvin Katz called in the evening (the only one who did). He
has signed a contract to do a book for Stein & Day on the
game and toy industry. It is not an exhaustive study
(a gal has spent some 2 years doing one for Viking) but rather
vignettes of interesting personalities. He wants to include
Marvin Glass, me, and a chapter on MONOPOLY.
We'll meet at the Donnell Library next Tuesday at
11:00 AM. He was talking about buying a copy of AGOG but
seems short of cash. I'll give him a copy in return for a copy of
YESTERDAYS GAMES, 25 YEARS OF FUN, and Willard Allphin's
article on MONOPOLY for him to look at and possibly borrow.
At Jack Davis' he told me that PARADE (a newspaper supplement)
had approached him about whether 3M had any "peace" games,
as opposed to "War" games, which they don't have. He thought
that a "Peace" GAME should have a market. Told him I'd think
of one. Also told him about BOOM OR GOLDEN AGE, and that it didn't
go anywhere.
Asked Jack if he had an open copy of OH-WAH-REE so that I could
get a repro of the rules with some additional games that I
