6/28 6/27 TUESDAY 30 JUNE 1970 181st day - 184 days to come

To Felicia at lunch. Gave her the leather box we bought in Rome. Gave the information she asked for on LIFT OFF. Told her about GRIT and she thinks it is good exposure. As far as she knows it is not right wing. X wants to consider INDIAN CHESS 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.

Steve Barkoczy, the inventor of UGLY CUBES and TRIP was there. He and I played his new game - TRIAGO. 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 MILL. He called them AB'S ORB. (An abbreviation of the scientific name for spiders. The game is not called SPIDER.) We all agreed there was really no market for them.
