Saturday 24 January
24th day - 341 days to come
Wrote letters to Don Miller, Garry Crum, Edwin K. Tucker,
Zeitlin & Ver Brugge, Mark Segal, James Cochrane, William Mikulas,
Joseph A. Weisbecker, Matte Snell Games.
Long conversation with Claude. Nothing particularly about
games.
(cont. from 1/25) [3/2]
TIC-TAC-TRIX - don't remember any of the details on this.
He said that an organization for the blind was interested
in FITTING AND PROPER and that they might put it out as a
joint venture. He will have his assistant send me all
the details.
He said that he hadn't seen my letter concerning the non-
dice version of TOTALLY - and that his assistant had taken
it upon himself to return the game. However he didn't
ask to see it again.
Daystar - Took ad sheet for BIG BOARD. Didn't get the details.
Solo Ball Co. - A solitaire baseball game called SOLO BALL. They
offered me a complete set, but I only took the cards,
the rest of being primarily a book for keeping records.
Tracianne - APOLLO. A game of reaching the moon using
dice and also a series of question cards. Didn't get
the details. (Have ad sheet.)
Varigraph, Inc. - DOOP. Cards are provided with with 16
hands on each side, one card for each position. Each
player also has a gadget for isolating the hand they are
using and picks the right cards from his own deck.
(Have ad sheet.)
Boneil Co. - WARRI. Took rules for this MANCALA game
and three variations - ROUNDERS, DUCHESS, CONTEST.
ALTO Corp. - A series of games all played with special
cubes. Didn't get many of the details. In the football game
one player chooses an defen offensive cube, the other a de-
fensive. The result comes from the tops of the two, after be-
ing thrown. The girl claimed that all the various pool
games could be played with that game. The various games:-
