27 Tuesday - March 1973
86th Day - 279 Days to Come
Called Felicia and told her that Aurora had come out with a game
called PURSUIT, so that George Bredehorn won't be able to use the name
PURSUIT. She said that she knew about it, but she did appreciate my
calling to tell her. She said that she had played a little of the game
with Stan Chess yesterday, but now wasn't sure that she liked it.
Told her I'd come in tomorrow and play it with her. Also that I'd
bring my SEE THE U.S.A. to show to her.
Made the city cubes and two of the boards for SEE THE U.S.A.
Wrote a note to Keith Tuggle thanking him for POUNCE, NIX,
LINKUP, and UPON MY WORD. Didn't mention HABITAT, TAKE-A-WORD,
or SUPER-TAC-TOE.
Edith gave BB a cartoon from PLAYBOY magazine about "The Funnin
Games Co." (Filed in '73 misc. [1973 miscellaneous])
(cont. from 3/28) [3/28]

Each player's 75 pcs. [pieces] are randomly set up in 15 piles of 5, with only
the top on in a pile known. As piles are jumped the correct number of pcs. [pieces]
are taken off the tops and are out of the game. The board is checkered
and the squares indicate topography. There is dessert. Certain pcs. [pieces] can
not go into the dessert. If a stack is jumped uncovering one of these
pcs. [pieces] on top, the remaining stack must leave the dessert within the next
