SUNDAY 21 NOVEMBER 1971
Presentation of B.V. Mary
Sunday next before Advent
325th day - 40 days to come
Wrote up BRIDGETTE, finishing my BOOK WORLD column.
Working on S & T #30 column. Wrote intro on SLEUTH problem,
NEW TOWN, and part of THE GODFATHER GAME.
In TIMES Magazine Section there was an ad for S & T.
In Sports Section an ad for INSTANT BASEBALL. (Filed in
'71 Ad Clips.)
(cont. from 11/22) [11/22]
within rings the inner ring counts. (In diagram red player
owns one castle, blue the other three.) [illegible crossed out]
The other spaces have directions, such as "Give 10% of all
your unplayed stones to King's Treasury"' "Collect 3 stones from
King's Treasury", etc. But the majority have "Pass" which
indicates no further action. I am pretty sure that stones on the
field are never influenced by these instructions.
Stones captured as in GO are kept by the capturer.
Occasionally stones will have to be swapped to get colors back into
the correct treasury. When a player is out of stones he loses.
(Fairly complete, but there may be a few things missing or wrong.)
Springbok has a series of "Bookcase Puzzles", two jig-saws packed in
a box very similar to the 3M; costs $8.00.
Back to BOOK WORLD. Eve read my column. Found it interesting.
She asked if this was a good year for games and I said "Yes".
She may change my intro to say this. When the proofs come
in she will contact me and I'll take a look at them.
Brought up the matter of BUGS & LOOOPS selling mainly by
mail order. She thought it was agood idea to add that info as a
footnote. I'll call her tomorrow with it.
Asked her if I should contact them next fall. "By all means - if
they are still in business." (?)
Stopped in at Reiss to see Phil Orbanes.
Spoke to Bob Reiss and and later to Manny. They will come to visit me next
Tuesday morning. Told them that I didn't have much in finished
form, but they wanted to come anyway.
Bob showed me an inclusion of NINE OF SWORDS, PITFALLS,
and PLATO'S PLIGHT in Dec. '71 PLAYBOY.
Phil saw Bill Knox of Mag-Nif. He still doesn't have a contract for
GROOVE, but Phil is sure it will be O.K.
Bill is not sure about HOLEY TERROR. He thinks that
it looks too much like GROOVE. Phil tried to convince him
that it wasn't. He'll think about it some more.
Phil's THE PYRAMID PUZZLE is pretty sure. It will probably
be called something with Cleopatra to keep it in line
with PLATO'S PLIGHT.
They priced out SPACE STIX for 18 [cents] for the molded pieces.
