137th day - 228 days to come
Call from Arthur. He told me of the diagonal jumping
move in ALCHEMY which wasn't part of the 5/6 rules.
To Stationery Show. Got in with a "Press" badge.
At 3M met Keith Tuggle and he took me out for coffee. Showed me
their plans with EXECUTIVE DECISION to use a board similar to
that used in STOCKS AND BONDS for recording market prices, etc.
He asked me about the amount of material cards
and denominations of money I thought would be needed.
Will give him the answer when he comes to supper on
Tuesday evening.
They have two new puzzles which are attractively
packed in pla transparent plastic containers.
HECTIX - a series of interlocking square rods which
meet an angles as well as at right angles. (This may be
the PUZZLE I saw on 2/27 in Tom Atwater's hotel room.)
JATI (which is not to be confused by the previous game of
the same name) is a pu action puzzle of maneuvering a piece
thru an obstacle course using a magnet. The ad sheet
also lists PLOY as being available for shipment
on Aug. 1. (Ad sheet filed in 3M folder.)

I told him that I hadn't rcd. the copy of TRADE THE MARKET
I was promised at the Toy Show. He said he'd get one out to
me so that I could review it.
Saw IN-QUEST which is similar to PROPOGANDA and is
basedon scientific method.
In the "discovery room" STRANGE BEDFELLOWS and
MR. PRESIDENT were listed and I am pretty sure I saw them.
They were (I believe) both quiz types games.
"Marge Naramore" - Took folders on DIRTY WATER and SMOG. The girl I spoke to said they were both games of strategy and
that she would send me review copies. They are coming
out on July 1st with another one called ECOLOGY and she'll
see that I get that too. (They are published by Urban Systems).
(Filed in 1970 Ad Clips.)
"Regina Products Inc." - HUSKER DU? (This, I believe, is Danish for
"Do you remember"). Don't remember the details too well but
I believe that there are cards with pictures and the names
in some language. These ar One of these is placed beneath
a gadget so that the pictures are obscured covered,
but can be exposed thru openable windows. Play is similar
to CONCENTRATION, trying to remember where certain pictures
are so that they can be marched. (Filed in 1970 Ad Clips.)
