WEDNESDAY 25 NOVEMBER 1970

329th day - 36 days to come

Rcd. another renewal reminder from PLAYTHINGS. Sent them a check on 11/16.

Rcd. a letter from H.A. "HAK" Kuhn asking whether I had rcd. TICKER TAPE. He enclosed a blank post card which I used to answer him.

Wrote letter to Keith Tuggle asking about the status of the ACQUIRE and EXECUTIVE DECISION rules.

Wrote letter to Tom Shaw about THE STOCK MARKET GAME and PANZERBLITZ.

Called Pete Swift about his letter of 11/19. Told him of my new layout for TABLERO DE JESUS and he wanted to see it since he is having his artist friend work on it. I sketched it and mailed it to him. On the matter of placing chips beside the board instead of covering right on the board I told him of my idea of placing them next to the proper columns at the end of the board. He convinced me that it was OK not to specify which coins are being covered. [crossout] A player just has to com- plete a group 2 longer than the last amount of chips he "wagered."
Pete had another idea which I didn't like it all. When a player throws a 7 he "wagers" the number of chips he thinks he can increase the group to and must stop when he reaches it.
In answer to Pete's question about this situation [drawing of 6 squares in a row with dots in all boxes except the 5th] I said that moving a coin into the empty space legitimately increased the group by 2.
