WEDNESDAY 11 MARCH 1970
70th day - 295 days to come
Felicia called. She had an inventor there with a game she thought
was great. Jogged over there and met him, a
Chinese fellow. The board is as shown.
[Diagram of an oval shaped board with a series of lines and arcs connecting 21 black dots. 6 of the dots are labeled 'A', 6 are labeled 'B', and 9 are unlabeled.]
Each player has 6 pieces started as shown by A's & B's (he
used statuettes of Indian braves & squaws). Players
in turn move one space along any of the lines to
a vacant space. When one or more pieces are surrounded
in the same sense as in GO (they are connected to
no empty spaces) they are removed. Object is to capture
all the enemy pieces. His name for game - INDIAN CHESS.
Played 5 games with him and won one. It was good.
Saw that she still had WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? there. Arnold wanted
her to wait with sending it till he got back. She'll send it today.
She had a letter from Dick Harris of M.B. Among other things which she
didn't read to me, he said that he located the copy of AGOG. I sent
to Mel. He will start reading it over the weekend.
She had three PUZZLEs there without rules, left by a science
writer. One had a lot of cubes with cards on the sides. One had
letters on the faces. One had numbers on the faces. Told her
that I didn't want to hear about that one since it resembled
something Claude was working on - GENIUS BLOCKS. She'll have me
over next week when she gets the rules.
Jules Cooper called. He thought the letter on CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSAS.
had already been sent. He'll check again.
I told him I had been at the Ideal office a few times
during Fair but he had been busy or out. He said he'd contact
me for a private showing.
