To Brentano's with <u>Felicia</u>. Looked around a little and  <br>
then to Pig 'N Whistle with <u>Dorothy Shapiro</u> for lunch.  <br>
She was quite pleasant. <u>ACQUIRE</u> is doing the best of  <br>
all the 3M games. <u>BAZAAR</u> is not moving. I told her  <br>
about the "Hallmark" gallery experience. She agreed that  <br>
the packaging was wrong. The gamettes are not doing  <br>
as well as she hoped, but she thinks they may pick up  <br>
the last two weeks before X'Mas. Incidentally, <u>TWIXT</u>  <br>
and <u>STOCKS & BONDS</u> have fallen off from previous years.  <br>
Back at the store Felicia introduced me to Henry ?  <br>
(I didn't catch his second name). He is in charge of  <br>
the whole first floor (?) but he leaves Dorothy run  <br>
the game dept. He was impressed when Felicia told  <br>
him my 4 3M games and I threw in <u>AGOG</u>.  <br>
I was looking at the rules for <u>ZONAL CHESS</u>  <br>
and Henry said he'd get a copy and send them to me.  <br>
Gave him my card. Apparently pieces in the added zones  <br>
have special moves.  <br>
Saw <u>THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKI RACE</u>. The board shows a  <br>
snow covered ski slope <s>with gree</s> superimposed with  <br>
a grid. Some spaces have green triangles representing  <br>
trees. There is a supply of cardboard tiles showing  <br>
paths in different configurations. <s>These</s> Players have  <br>
10 of these in hand and play them to the board as many  <br>
as they can, and wish, in a turn. Score only for the number  <br>
and type of tiles played and probably for being the  <br>
first to reach the bottom (tho I didn't get this detail).  <br>
An opponent's path can only be crossed by using a cross-over  <br>
tile. (Fairly complete idea).  <br>
Saw <u>DON'T BUG ME</u> (Pacific). Two dice have numbers  <br>
