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.

(cont. from 2/13) [2/13]

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.

(cont. from 2/14) [2/19]
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,
