To <u>Felicia</u> at lunch. Gave her the leather box we bought in Rome.
Gave the information she asked for on <u>LIFT OFF</u>.
Told her about <u>''GRIT''</u> and she thinks it is good exposure.
As far as she knows it is not right wing.
X wants to consider <u>INDIAN CHESS</u> but say they can't fol-
low the rules. Felicia gave me a repro and I can see
what they mean. Felicia called the inventor twice and
he is supposed to call her back.
<u>Steve Barkoczy</u>, the inventor of <u>UGLY CUBES</u> and <u>TRIP</u> was
there. He and I played his new game - <u>TRIAGO</u>. It plays
well but is not particularly different or exciting.
He gave me a set of the rules. Verbally he told him that
the rules could be simplified greatly by prohibiting a
player from making a line of more than 4 adjacent pcs. He
thinks that this is not quite as good a game.
Felicia decided that there was no one she could show it to
at present and Steve insisted that I take the board with me.
He had another series of 4 boards with different variations
of <u>MILL</u>. He called them <u>AB'S ORB</u>. (An abbreviation of the
scientific name for spiders. The game is not called <u>SPIDER</u>.)
We all agreed there was really no market for them.
[diagram of hexagon with four concentric bands of hexagons, divided into twelve wedge segments]
Played with 25 pcs. for each of 2 players.
Capture with line of 5, either radial
or along two sides.
[diagram of hexagon with two concentric bands of hexagons, divided into twelve wedge segments]
Played with 15 pcs.
for each of 2 players.
Capture with line of
3 in a straight line.
[diagram of pentagon with four concentric bands of pentagons, divided into ten wedge segments]
Played with 20 pcs.
for each of two players.
Capture with line
of 5, either radial
or along two sides.
[diagram of octagon with three concentric bands of octagons, divided into sixteen wedge segments]
Played with 12
pcs. for each
of 2 plans. Cap-
ture with line of
4. (How does this work? Maybe I don't
have the diagram correct.
Gave Steve the rules of <u>FOCUS</u>
from Felicia's set. Will get
her another.
