THURSDAY 14 JANUARY 1971 14th day - 351 days to come

Rcd. an invoice from pbs (Frank Armbruster) saying that TASMANIA and TAKE FIVE were sent to me on 1/8.

Played BAZAAR with BB, using the rules for returning all tokens when a card is bought and limiting the use of the die to times when a trade is not possible. Played well, but I couldn't think as clearly as BB. Finally had to concede.

Rudy Lopez called. He has a new GAME which he says is just about all worked out. But he would like me to see it. He is now working for an employer and can't get to Felicia's during the day. He asked if I could come to his house some evening to look at the game. Said "yes" but not until I have caught up. I'll call him in a month or so. { Rudy Lopez, [phone number], (call after 9 P.M.

tokens when a card is bought and limiting the use of the die
to times when a trade is not possible. Played well, but I
couldn't think as clearly as BB. Finally had to concede.

about all worked out. But he would like me to see it. He
is now working for an employer and can't get to Felicia's
during the day. He asked if I could come to his house
some evening to look at the game. Said "yes" but not until
I have caught up. I'll call him in a month or so.
