ored pegs sticking in the spaces of a cruciform board.
Took the following material with me to reproduce & return: FANTOCCINI - An ad sheet for a combination of BLOCKHEAD & PASS-OUT. SKI GAMMON - The rules that I am missing.
An ad sheet for STRIP TAC TOE, BUMPS & GRINDS, and each of the two people out of the room spinning an allotted time, the two being added together.) FINGERPRINT EXPERT - An ad sheet which shows the board and gives a pretty good idea of the play. (Pete says he found it at the Stationery Show.)
Pete said that he had tried to become friendly with Eric Naiburg, President of "Plan B," after he did well with VECTOR (only DIPLOMACY did better). Naiburg would make dates and then not show up. He thinks, however, that Eric would send me a copy of CARAPACE due to my review of VECTOR.
One of Pete's associates joined THE GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB (N.J.) to observe it's operation. He has had 4 games sent by failing to return the card. He also hasn't sent any money yet, with no action from the club yet.
Spoke to Penny, Pete's wife. They are big fans of MONAD. They liked BAZAAR at first but then grew tired of it.
Pete asked if I had done the 2-hand version of ACQUIRE and I admitted that it had be done at 3M.
