(Discarded part and filed rest in 1972 Misc.)
Rcd. an invite to a cocktail party at "The Four Seasons" to
introduce THE HOWARD HUGHES GAME. RSVP and called to say I'd come.
Called Fred Feucht. Made date to come to his office Monday to look
at his art work on XANDO, etc. so that I can work up games
to go with it.
When I mentioned Phil and I sharing our royalties from Hoi
Polloi with him, he said it certainly wasn't our responsibility to see
that he got his money back.
Called Marvin Katz, thinking I had met him at the cocktail party
for THE GODFATHER GAME. It was the one for "Cadeaux." He is quite
busy and will contact me in a few weeks about getting together
to return YESTERDAY'S GAMES, etc.
Worked out a layout of circles for NO WAY and had five ten copies
made at Boston Post Road. In evening worked out the arrange-
ment of numbers. BB tried it.
Claude called he told me about a game advertised in NEW YORK
magazine, the one with contest #122 (July 24th). It is called
SHACKLES - Regis Games, 91-03A 172nd St., Jamaica, N.Y. 11432.
It is advertised as a game strategy, tactics, & deception in a boardgame
$2.50.
(cont. from 9/30)[9/30]
hibited by SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN from doing any other column.
Also, he doesn't care to do any more of this type of writing.
I suggested Angela Dunn, of PROBLEMATICAL RECREATIONS, but
Martin said she is not a creator, just an editor. Then I sug-
gested David Silverman of YOUR MOVE. Martin said that he con-
tributed a lot of Dunn's material. Graeme said that his
puzzle editor is in correspondence with Silverman.
Eric Cross (from Ireland) had a puzzle, 8 BLOCKS TO MADNESS,
now on the market and
I saw an article in a
Math. Mag [magazine]. The 8 cubes
from MacMahon's set of 30
are shown. Object is
to form a 2 x 2 x 2 cube
with each face a different single color.
[drawing of 8 "cubes" with sides depicted in 2D diagrams, each side has an initial representing a color i.e. R for red].
