26 FRIDAY - MAY 1972
147TH DAY - 219 DAYS TO COME
Rcd. the Booklet AN INTRODUCTION TO WARGAMING as
part of my PANZERFAUST subscription. (Filed in
NFFF, NOST, etc. folder.)
Rcd. a letter from W.H. Rawlings in answer to mine concerning his
CRISS-CROSS puzzles. Told me the sources for VETO (AGOG!!),
KAOOA, SIXE-ACE, TEDCO3D, and COMPROMISE. He has invented
PROXIMITY CHESS.
The following games are played by NOST members, all from
AGOG, LINES OF ACTION, LAP, PAPER BOXING, LAST WORD, BLUE AND GRAY,
CUPS, CROSSINGS, THREE MUSKETEERS, KNIGHT CHASE, NETWORK,
and CUTTING CORNERS.
He would like to play postally, almost anything but CHECKERS.
Tom Atwater here for lunch. Among topics discussed : -
SOMA newsletter will have only one more issue. General Mills is
getting very stingy, Billings & Reece puts it out for a flat fee
and barely makes expenses.
Stewart Coffin's HECTIX is selling very well in red-white-and blue.
The things he puts out himself are also selling.
Tom has heard reports of people seeing NEO-CHESS on sale, even
tho 3M didn't have it on display at the show.
Earl called and asked me to bring some things to the meeting at
his house tonight. Brought the following. Mag-Nif folder
to send to Japan (to the company that Earl wants to talk
in to manufacturing games). 2 copies of AGOG (1 for Earl
and one for Japan.) GODFATHER GAME (violin case version) to
loan to Issie indefinitely. S & T #29 & #31 for Japan.
Played Claude's FAR AWAY PLACES (LOA). 16 of the spaces are
marked (with blue here but Claude
will use travel pictures). When two
play each has 12 pcs. When four
play each has 6 pcs. With partners
sitting across from each other. Play
as in LOA.
[Diagram of an 8 x 8 grid board. 16 spaces marked in blue. In the corners (clockwise starting from top left) are groups of dots. 6 red, 6 green with black, 6 red with black, and 6 green.]
A player (or team) wins
when all his (it's) remaining pcs. are
on blue squares. (Played 4 hand and it
was just about as good as the original.)
Played a little DIALEMMA but they
couldn't see it and didn't care for
it. Decided that I'll have to supply
a set of easier patterns for beginners.
Played AIRPORT and it was quite good. There were a few points
not clear in the rules. Also we didn't finish in close to
3 hours of play.
Claude gave a copy of GROWTH GAMES. (Wouldn't take $1.50,
saying I have been giving him things.)
