Rcd. a letter
Rcd. a letter from <u>Pierre Berloquin</u>, written before mine  <br>
reached him. Had a description of a simple game for  <br>
a men's magazine called <u>''PENTHERMAPHRODITE''</u>.  <br>
He is doing a monthly TV show teaching solitaire games  <br>
and would appreciate <u>NEW DEAL SOLITAIRE</u>. Another monthly  <br>
show on games in general is in the works.
 
Called <u>Marge Naramore</u> and spoke to someone since she wasn't in.  <br>
He will send me a glossy of <u>SMOG</u>.  <br>
The 6 titles <u>Felicia</u> told me about: <u>LIFE IN THE WATER</u>  <br>
erc. (see 9/8) are out but they are not games. They  <br>
are educational kits.  <br>
<u>ECOLOGY</u> will probably not be out till after X'Mas.
 
"Al Costeles" called from the office. He has 8 more storage <br>
boxes. I'll try to get them by Saturday. If not they'll <br>
probably be safe until I can drive again. Or possibly <br>
Al will bring them here some Saturday, meet Mary, and <br>
spend the evening.
 
Wrote letters to: D.Laycock (<u>SQUATTER</u>, etc.) <br>
H.A. Cartwright (<u>WORD SOLITAIRE</u>) - Tried a game and won. <br>

Player to change the position of one tile, and then <br>
play additional tiles as part of the same turn. <br>
[illegible crossed out] I suggested that he might cut down on <br>
the number of tiles req'd, in the game by putting <br>
those that are to opposite hand on the two sides of <br>
a tile. (Later realized that a grab bag would then <br>
be needed for drawing new tiles.) <br>
I told Frank that the market was flooded with <br>
abstract strategy games and that if we want to <br>
sell them we will have to tie them in with some <br>
"relevant" subject.
