TUESDAY 16 FEBRUARY 1971

47th day - 318 days to come

Feb. MCCALL'S Magazine had a piece on the inventor of THE EUCLIDIAN PILGRIM PUZZLE and a picture of the puzzle. (Filed in 1971 Ad Clips)

Felicia called the TIMES had an article about a club on 72nd St. which rents tables for game playing @ 50¢ an hour, primarily CHESS, BRIDGE, and GO. It is called HOUSE OF GAMES. Felicia asked if I would be interested in demonstrating ACQUIRE, and BALI there. I said yes and she'll write to them.
She had a letter from Bill Caruson. The European sales of ACQUIRE and BAZAAR for the 4th quarter were not in- cluded. They will be included with the 1st quarter report. Bill Caruson will not be at Toy Fair. He mentioned that someone named Zeller would be.
Felicia has the models of Connor Barrett's game RUSTLERS or CAPTURE THE CARGO but no rules. Told her I had them. (Later checked and saw that I had only my own condensed rules.)
Felicia found the material from Claude on DUEL and ECLIPSE in her mail slot. The former has been mailed to X but she is keeping the solution of the latter, since they want to try to solve it themselves.

At Korvette's saw TIGHT SQUEEZE (Lakeside). It is a children's game. There is a plastic tunnel thru which they crawl, two at a time I believe, to get an object and then crawl back thru.

Rcd. the INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER SUPPLEMENT (2/7/71). Announced that subscribers would be receiving a game SAIPAN within the next month. Also that REVOLT is now appearing in the INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER (see 1/25) and that ARIES will soon appear.

Another call from Felicia. She wrote to HOUSE OF GAMES. She asked me about WILD LIFE and mentioned a game WOMEN'S LIB by Gini Scott's company.
Bob Edwards told her that the first two pages of the rules for INFERNAL BINARY MACHINE were missing. She told 3M who had it first and they are looking. I told her that I could supply them if 3M didn't find them. (Looked later and saw that we never had pages 1 & 2)
She rcd. 2 copies on RACE THRU SPACE GAMES and Vir- ginia wants her to handle it. If I don't get mine she'll give me one of the 2.
The Rolling Front Game Co., who did BYZANTIUM will probably do two more. If she gets them she will give the GAMEs to me.
She heard from X that they rcd. LIVE WIRE. I told her
