While looking at the "Gameways" catalog noticed that 
the OH-WAH-REE rules have 7 different versions.
Looked at my set and I don't have them. Will have to 
get a new rules folder.

Times had a Bergdorf Goodman ad for DIRTY WATER
& ECOLOGY. (Filed in 1971 Ad Clips.)

Claude's game 15-TAC-TOE (see 1/27) started me thinking of 
a GAME. Use a 4x4 field and numbered pcs. - say 
2 sets of number from 1 to 8. Players in turn place 
one pc. in any position. After all pcs. are placed 
each row & column is totaled. One player scores all 
odd totals, the other all even totals. Play in rounds
of two to equalize the chances. 
Other possibilities use two sets of from 1 to 10
and leave 4 pcs. unused at the end. Or remove 4 pcs.
at random before starting to achieve different starting 
positions. Or possibly use two sets of from 1 to 12; 
remove 4 at random; and leave 4 unused at end.

Wrote to Tom Atwater about Mary Hilt's letter con-
cerning TRANSFORMATION and AIRLINE. BB types this and 
yesterday's letter to Jim Kraus.

Gave a copy of TAM-BIT to Marylin's Elliot. Showed
him how to play a STRATEGO game he rcd. and lost a 
game to him.

(cont. from 2/20) [2/22]

better but not spectacularly. 
I asked him if the game SOLAR BASES was his since it was
sold from Cherry Hill. No, it is, he believes, put out by a 
professor. He bought a copy and doesn't think it is very 
good. BUGS & LOOPS he thinks is good as a game, tho not parti-
cularly good in teaching about computers. 
He had been intending to call me about getting together. He 
was thinking of driving here some Sunday in the spring 
with his wife and children, age 11 & 13. 
I told him about leaving engineering and about my 
operation. 
[arrows pointing up and down] [started 2/22] 
I told Felicia that I hadn't rcd. the copy of 
RACE THRU SPACE GAMES I was promised. Felicia offered
me one of the two she rcd. I'll pick it up Thursday.
