At "Cross Country" bought 4 sheets of cardboard and  <br>
a container of 3M glue.  <br>
At "Wanamaker's" looked at <u>DIMENSIONS</u> by "Pacific Games".  <br>
It is played by from 2 to 4 players on a 4 x 4 x 4  <br>
field. The rules said that each player had 16 chips  <br>
but they also said that play continued until all  <br>
spaces were filled (how - with 2 or 3 players?)  <br>
Players in turn place a chip in any space or,  <br>
instead of placing a chip, can turn one of the upper  <br>
3 boards 1/4 turn in a clockwise direction.  <br>
Lines of 3 of a player's chips count 1 point in a  <br>
horizontal plane and lines of 4 count 2 points.  <br>
In a vertical plane (Including a long diagonal I believe)  <br>
a line of 3 counts 3 points and 4 counts  <br>
4 points.  <br>
Lines are scored as formed and in the case of  <br>
a turned board more than 1 line can be turned at a  <br>
time. Most points when all spaces are filled wins.  <br>
Mailed registered letters to myself on <u>TRANSFORMATION</u>  <br>
and <u>FREE FORM</u>. In the latter included drawings of  <br>
the equipment.
Made the <u>PUZZLE</u> of 9/14 into a 2-hand <u>GAME</u> by  <br>
giving a definite starting position, allowing more  <br>
than 1 move in a turn (up to a total of 5).  <br>
Tried it with BB and it worked O.K.

with me. I said sure and Phil asked me to call Carl.  <br>
Called and told Carl that Phil and I agreed on $250  <br>
as an advance. He didn't sound quite as enthusiastic about  <br>
<u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u> to me as he had to Phil, but it does  <br>
look encouraging. His budget from "Guud" is not certain yet  <br>
but he is pretty sure. He'd like the rules by Jan. 11, unless  <br>
he contacts me otherwise. Reiss wants to do M.M for  <br>
$5, $6 at the most .  <br>
