SATURDAY 13 MARCH 1971
72nd day - 293 days to come
Rcd. NOST-ALGIA (No. 131 - March 1971). Looked at
WORD GOLF which was the familiar pastime of
changing words a letter at a time, but this allows
rearranging the letters between words.
They are looking for contestants for tournaments in many
different games, including LAST WORD, LAP,
LINES OF ACTION, and PAPER BOXING.
Rcdn. a letter from Julian Clark Martin (see 1/26 & 2/9). He
thanks me. Also said that the game he mentioned.
STATUS was probably CLASS.
Wrote to Charly Parker (concerning autographing AGOG);
Mary Hilt (SPELLBINDER, etc.); Jim Kraus (SLEUTH,
PLANES).
In the play "Sleuth", "Anthony Quayle" had a SENET board
in his house. He said it was played like
NINE MAN MORRIS. (which, of course, is completely wrong.)
(cont. from 3/19) [3/20]
allows the player to place it on a bingo type layout. Each player
plays with his own bag of marbles.
DELL:- Looking at the model but nothing more. A manufacturer de-
clined to look at it because it looked too much like PARCHISI. I sug-
gested changing the form of the track and also to work out some kind
of a story line.
DERBY:- A horseracing game with 6 horses moving according to faces
on 4 dice. Told him that it had already been done.
Called Arthur during day. Nothing particularly on games.
[started 3/20]
(cont. from 3/21) [3/24]
At Alfons' hotel room we played MINI CUBE FUZION. It is played
with only four of the double cubes, one end red & the other
green. They are played one at a time within the limit of a 3x3x3
cube. But as pieces are moved the cube can shift location, it
not being defined. A player can not move the pc. previously
moved. Object to get 3 in a row of your color. I lost.
[arrows pointing up and down] [started 3/24]
Working on cards for NOMINATION.
