FRIDAY 13 FEBRUARY 1970 44th day - 321 days to come

Rcd. letters (addressed to Random House) from: { Peter Swift Family Circle - Promotion Dept. 488 Madison Ave. New York, N.Y. 10022 He has a dice GAME he would like me to look at. { Stephen K. Howard 35 Lincoln St. Gardner, Mass. 01440 He is a fan of ACQUIRE and TROMINO GO and would have like AGOG to be composed entirely of games of a similar nature. He sent me the name of a bookstore where he bought CROMPTON'S CHESS, a 4-hand variation. He also asked if I was familiar with CHEQUERO, CHASEBACK, CHESSERS, NIRTZ, HYPER-SPACE. He would like the name of books with obscure board games of strategy. Also he wants the name of the one to contact at 3M about selling a GAME he is working on.

Rcd. Feb. & March PANZERFAUSTs. March had reviews for NAVAL WAR GAME ($2.50) and MAJOR LEAGUE BASKETBALL GAME ($13.00).

Played SEARCH with Phil & Annette & BB. Played 3 games. The first was over almost immediately because of too many "wild" cards, which I shuffled in with the deck. Then each player was given one wild card allowing a 2 factor choice. This could be used whenever desired but then was out of the game. The remaining 43 cards were shuffled and 4 dealt to each player. One was used each turn & then replaced. Instead of asking for a file a player could throw in all four cards and take 4 new ones from the deck. Worked good.
