THURSDAY 18 FEBRUARY 1971
49th day - 316 days to come
Wrote up my column for #26 of S&T. Reviewed
LAWSUIT, OPINION, and CONFRONTATION.
Rcd. a letter from Conrad Schwarz (an AGOG reader)
in return to mine. He sent me an ad clip for his
DECK-A-DOT GAMES. He would like to correspond with
Felicia, but is not sure if he wants her as an agent,
since he is publishing himself. [crossout] His
game(s) seems to consist of a special deck of cards
and is for very young children (3 to 7).
Rcd. NOST-ALGIA #130 (Feb. 1971). In an article on
OWARE it mentions CUPS and A GAMUT OF GAMES.
Also mentions BOARD AND TABLE GAMES OF MANY CIVILIZATIONS.
Rcd. a catalog from Zeitlin & Ver Brugge (who wrote to
one after the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN article). All of the
books are on science and are very expensive.
BB brought the package with HAAR HOOLIM PERCEPTION GAMES
to P.O. to mail to Don Laycock.
Finished and mailed the letter to Lech Pijanowski. Asked
him for material, including information about the
unfamiliar games in his POLISH HOYLE.

Bob brought his GAME which he hadn't named. Claude called
it MERCENARY. Claude, Bob and two of the staffers (Fred
Schachter for one) played and liked it. Jim said it to too ab-
stract for him; Fred said he'd like to cost it out with an idea of
publishing it himself.
The board represents Europe roughly in the 1700's. Each
player has three separate countries (separated from each
other on the board). Austria-Spain-Holland (Hapsburg's); Turkey-
Prussia-England; Poland-Italy-Denmark; Russia-France-Ireland.
