SATURDAY 27 NOVEMBER 1971
331st day - 34 days to come
BB didn't think that the black on white would be good for the
RESTRUCTURE board. I agreed and cut out a set of white [Plus + shape].
But this also was spotty. Tested the pieces on the FREE FORM board.
That worked a lot better so I made a board in this manner.
Played around with one of the puzzles and discovered that it was
impossible to relate to the written symbols. Used numbers instead and
that worked fine.
In evening showed it to David Horn and he solved one of the basic
puzzles.
(cont. from 11/28) [12/1]
Wald wanted me to try the HIGH DECK PUZZLE (see 7/10/69).
I couldn't do the puzzle shown. Neither could he while I was there.
Bet him 25 [cents] that he couldn't solve it.
[Diagram of a 4 x 8 grid. The letters K,S,F,C,M.K,S,L,L,V,P, and C are scattered throughout the grid.]
They mentioned that they had made
BORDERLINE into a good equipment game.
But they didn't have it available.
Rcd. a check for $200 from BOOK WORLD. Deposited it in
Chemical Bank.
Rcd. a Season's Greetings card from Jerry D'Arcey. He is still
waiting for word on FRANCHISE and SKULLDUGGERY.
(cont. from 12/2) [12/2]
There is a deck of cards with 5 of each currency (wooden
nickles?). In each round a player places 5 coins in any
order he wishes before him. Then 5 cards are dealt in a
row. A player collects for matching a coin or coins turned
up, more if in same location. Unmatched coins go to apot
which is won periodically (how?). (Rough idea.) (Don't
remember whether Bob took it or not.)
He told us that he has a connection with a retailer who
orders 12,000 each of games made to retail for $1.00. Of the
first batch of about 12 submitted the retailer took abt. 7.
Bob would like to get together another 12 to show him. He
will pay royalties on these, and he may be able to make
further sales for premiums, etc. He is not allowed, by his
agreement to sell any other for retail sales.
He is interested in more card games which lend
themselves to illustrations such as MOVIE STARS and the
one on "Classic Cars".
He brought a copy of MOVIE MOGULS for me and MOVIE STARS
for me and Felicia.
He drove Felicia home then dropped me off. He asked me to
