SATURDAY 24 OCTOBER 1970
United Nations Day
297th day - 68 days to come
Rcd. a letter from H.A. Cartwright saying that he was
sending me the multiple player game - which in his
previous letter he called THE FIVE WORD GAMES.
Read the rules for EXTINCTION. Seemed quite well done.
Got into a discussion with BB a bout the letter she didn't send to
Tom Atwater and then decided I'd wash my hands off the
whole thing.
Rcd. NOST-ALGIA - No. 126 (Oct. 1970).
(cont. from 10/31) [10/31]
Phil is still with "Allstate", but at present without a
contract. Jerry Goldstien suggests that Phil wait
another month. Ceyce and some others will be out by
then and Phil will be able to get a better contract.
Even if he signs a contract, he will be able to leave at
anytime - once he sees his way clear to make a
living from "Infinity-Quest". He'll still do consulting work
for "Allstate".
In the meantime he doesn't have any definite
assignment and he is staying home, tho he is still drawing
his salary. Jerry is waiting to see how.
AQUARIUS 2000 does before going on to something new.
I asked and Phil will see if he can check on
TAM-BIT & TAKE FIVE when he talks to Jerry.
Rcd. the duplicate material from "I.D.E.A.S." which I
discarded.
Dana wanted to play ACQUIRE with his group tomorrow
Finished my letter to Karen Kelley on ACQUIRE. BB typed
it, with a carbon for Felicia, and I mailed them.
Got an idea for a 3-D card GAME as suggested by
Jim Kraus, my tentative name is PLANES. It is
played on a 3x3x3 board. There is a deck of
54 cards (They will have to be "Baby" size) consisting
of 6 "suits" of 9 cards each, each suit a different
shape & color. In each suit there are 2 each of
1, 2, 3, 4, and 1 of 5. There are also identification
discs corresponding to the 6 colors.
The game is started by placing 3 cards along one
of the long diagonals, face up. Players are dealt 3 cards
and these are played one at a time on the board, drawing
after to return the hand to 3.
