TUESDAY 9 FEBRUARY 1971
40th day - 325 days to come
The OPINION glossy arrived from S&R.
Called Carl Eisenberg. Not in. Supposed to call back,
but didn't.
Wrote to Dr. Allen S. Mariner, an AGOG reader, concerning
HEKATON, ALL MY DIAMONDS, PATTERNS, CROSSINGS,
TWIXT. (sent COMBINATION.)
Wrote to Julian Clark Martin, an AGOG reader who is inter-
ested in marketing an adult GAME. (sent COMBINATION.)
Wrote to Walter D. Coffey, an AGOG reader, with comments
on ACQUIRE. He is interested in publishing reviews of
games. (sent COMBINATION.)
Wrote to David Anderson, an AGOG reader, concerning
DOMINO BEAD GAME & SHERLOCK HOLMES. (sent COMBINATION.)
Felicia called. She is sending me more clippings about
Coca Cola & recycling. (Later found them myself.)
She wants me to get a game ready ASAP, even
if it not too great as a game.
She rcd. a letter from the GAMEWAYS people. They'll
try to get to see her during Toy Fair.
Called Jim Dunnigan. Told him that I rcd. the letters,
but not the press card or stationery. He said that
they, plus, STALINGRAD 3, were mailed in a separate
envelope, first class. If I don't receive it I'll go to
the skunk works on Friday 2/19 to bring S&T
column and get the material.
Jim is looking for a loft, with more room, for
the skunk works. One reason is to provide space for
Red to have an office there.
Forgot to ask Jim about the magazine GAME DEISGN
(see 2/8).
Wrote to Mrs. Estelle Hobbs, who had seen the article
on me in GRIT. Sent her rules for MILL.
Gave Midge a box of playing cards and promised Tony a
set of VENTURE.
Asked Julian Clark Martin about the game, STATUS,
that he mentioned in his letter.
While copying the rules for MILL for Mrs. Hobbs thought
of a variation of the GAME. Each player has an in-
definite number of pieces, numbered in order form
1 up. As pieces are placed, the number 1 is first, etc.
After #9 is placed a player can either move or place
another piece. Play until a preset total of opponent's
