MONDAY 24 FEBRUARY
St. Matthias, Apostle 1969 55th day - 310 days to come
On subway going to work read the rules for CUBE-FUZION, RAT RACE,
ASTRO BLITZ, SKY-SPY, DO-MINI-NOS. On way back read
STRATEGY & TACTICS magazine, starting with the first issue.
Called Parker and spoke to Hank Simmons. Made an appointment for
early Wednesday. Called Funtastic and will go there also Wed-
nesday.
Called Claude. He has another puzzle; 4 cubes with numbers on the
faces. Object to turn 4 faces up that add up to 21.
He would like larger cubes than the small ones I gave him.
Told him I'd give him some, though I didn't have too many
left.
Rcd. answers from Amalthea Products and Ave-Jay Game Co.
Finished Table of Contents.
(cont. from 2/25) [2/26]
They also have a new puzzle DOUBLE DISASTER which
consists of 8 cubes which are to be placed so that each of
the 6 faces of the large cube shows 4 different colors.
Carrom Division:- Spoke to Tom Wolff, the Product Director.
They have a new game MADURO, which is supposed to be a
developement of a South American game. There are over-
sized plastic tiles which are slightly irregular in size.
They have a number inscribed on them. They are built
into a tower and then are removed until the black piece on
the top falls. The equipment is most attractive. (He will
contact me when available and sell me a copy for Wholesale-
about $4.)
CARROM now has 106 games listed. He will send me a
rule book.
AFRICAN CHESS is their MANCALA version.
He resents the Merdel Co. who have copied the CARROM
game boards, and I agreed with him.
He is interested in looking at my games and will send
a submition form. When he is in town we will get together
and I'll show him things.
Saalfield:- They have taken over the Droman-Percepta
line and have THE GAME OF 99, THIRD MAN, CONESTOGA
packaged under their name.
They have a 4-hand CHECKERS game called CHECK-O
The board has an 8 x 8 center field and 4 - 3 x 8 addit-
ions. Can be played by 3 or 4, each for himself. When
played by 3, one player plays two opposite sets of
