MONDAY 27 APRIL
1970 117th day - 248 days to come
Playing around with Conway's THE GAME OF LIFE.
Rcd. an invite to join from the "Spartan Wargamers."
Wrote a thank you letter to "Anthony J. Gugliotta" who liked
AGOG. Sent him a copy of TROMINO GO.
Called Irwin Pfeffer, who sent me ASTRO-FLITE, in Cali-
fornia. He has invested a lot of money in the game and
would like to see some return. I told him I'd check with
Felicia about her handling it and drop him a note tomorrow.
Spoke longer than I intended.
I told him that thus far all space games have bombed.
(cont. from 4/28) [4/28]
room a year ago at Toy Fair. She asked about the copy of
AGOG I promised her. Made date for next Tuesday to bring her one.
Called Arthur and changed the date with him from next Tuesday
to the Friday of that week, at his house.
Arthur is having more repros of the HIGH DECK made. He'll have
one for me and one to send to Lech. I'll have to supply the rules.
He has seen Henry Pelham Burn a few times. Henry is interested
in the HIGH DECK.
Ruth Patmore of WFF'N PROOF called long distance. She wants
the inventor of TRI-NIM to write a booklet on NIM. She asked
me for some references. I gave her:
MATHEMATICAL RECREATIONS (Kraitchik)
MATHEMATICAL RECREATIONS AND ESSAYS (Ball)
I asked about QUERIES & THEORIES. It isn't ready yet. It has to
be ready in June for a Brentano's ad. I'll get one as soon as
she has it ready.
Sent $5 for A GUIDE TO FAIRY CHESS - 2ND EDITION.
MONDAY (cont.)
Irwin Pfeffer said that Games Research had been interested in
ASTRO-FLITE, but lost interest when Irwin asked for a $1000
advance.
