SATURDAY 27 FEBRUARY 1971

58th day - 307 days to come

Rcd. another letter from H.A.K. about TICKER TAPE. Would like to hear from me and enclosed a post card & stamped envelope.

Arthur called. Told him about my doings. Asked if he is working on any new games. No. He is doing further investigations on PLAYDANCE however.

I called Claude. He is working on a puzzle in which magnets move pictures into proper position. Told me about it but I couldn't get much over the phone. PUZZLE.

Thought of a puzzle I later called WILD WOOD PILE. Made up a very rough set and played around with it. Then blocked out a solution and made pieces - 24 "logs" to be stacked 4 on a level, levels being 90 [degrees] to each other.

At Allerton Ave. bought 4 3/4 dozen plastic cubes with different colors on two opposite sides. (Put in "equipment" box-large). They had a lot of other types, such as triangles with 3 different colors that looked interesting. Will go back there in near future.

In evening played PLANES with Phylis and Harold Sapirstein. She caught on beautifully and liked it. He wasn't thrilled. Played that at the end planes of 3 or more could be emptied. OK, but a little awkward.

side for odd numbers. (The illus- tration may not be exactly ac- curate. Pcs. move as many spaces orthogonally as the number on the pc. but may make as many 90 [degrees] turns as desired. Capture is by replacement. Wibel said there are variations. He will send me a copy.
The other games he handles are APOLLO MOON FLIGHT (see 1969), DOOP (see 1970), PENTAGON (took picture & rules), and DRIVER-ED (a children's race game).
