FRIDAY 12 FEBRUARY 1971
Georgia Day
Abraham Lincoln, Born 1809 43rd day - 322 days to come
Wrote to Dr. Manuel Ma. Risueno who sent me the game
ZAFARRANCHO. I told him about CAROUSEL. Also told
him about TEMPO and answered a comment about
THREE MUSKETEERS.
Started letter to Don Laycock in Australia. Copied the
rules and board for CROWN RED to send him.
Rcd. an ad from "Dimensional Games, Inc." for a book called
3-D CHESS BOOK by Lynn R. Johnson.
NEW YORK magazine had a simple, satirical game called
COMMUNICATION.
Played PLANES with BB. Played very well. At the end portion
a player with a lot more of his tiles on the board
can rack up a big score. A possible equalization factor:
do not allow a "trick" of less than three tiles. Another
possibility: A player must take the largest trick that
he could win (largest in number of tiles). With more
than one with same number, has choice.

Rudy said that he had two other GAMEs but didn't
bring them because he wasn't coming from home.
Gave Rudy his old equipment for LIVE WIRE, also a
copy of rules.
Rudy left the equipment for LIVE WIRE-QUICK SHOCK.
Called Arthur and talked for awhile. Nothing speci-
fically about games.
Told Rudy I'd come to his house after Toy Fair to see
his other two GAMEs.
BB, Dale, and Phil picked up the shelves I ordered
from Sears - in Yonkers. I put them together and
put them in the corner where the filing cabinet used
to be.

and collects 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 of the loser's treasury.
Fortresses on the duchies can be captured in the same
way, except that there is no loss of treasury.
A player on his turn can buy a pc. that was [crossout]
killed previously, paying the following amount to the "bank":
Infantry - $50,000, cavalry - $75,000, Artillery - $100,000,
