THURSDAY 20 APRIL 1967
110th day - 255 days to come
Worked out an expansion of PAYOFF to 42 cards. Worked out
the number of cards of each number, but still have to lay
out the individual cards. With 42 cards there can be six rounds
of 7 cards each, or 7 of 6 cards each.
Started t making cards for HIGH FINANCE - new name for my
financial card game.
Barney Rich called. DOZEN DIAMONDS has been under consideration
by a Chicago firm which is affiliated to IBM and also is
puitting out WFF'N PROOF, etc. This must be a recent tie up. I'll
have to look into it. They have had it for over a year. Now
they say their is another game which is an infringement. He
asked me if I knew of it. The only one I could think of was
TUMBLE NUMBLE and described it to him. We both agreed there was
a considerable difference. He may fly to Chicago to check on it.
Bob Engel, of Whitman, sent me Professor Yearont's letter
about the symmetrical draw in FOCUS. (See 4/16). He also
mentioned that FREE FOR ALL should be decided by the
end of next week. Also they may consider MAVERICK COUNTRY
in the future with a different theme.
