TUESDAY 16 MARCH 1971
75th day - 290 days to come
Felicia called. She has another GAME on recycling to give to
IMPACT to submit to Coca Cola. I can stop working on
my GAME. She thought that I'd be glad to drop it, and
I was.
She saw Andy Luftig's ESCAPE and played it with him.
It is more a fun game than a strategy game, altho
the prisoner has considerable choice of lines of
action. At one point there is a die throw which is
quite important, but the prisoner can choose the time
to throw it. At other times the pcs., 1 prisoner
and 9 guards, have set moves. There are searchlights
involved and also cards which Felicia says are quite
humorous.
She will call Bill Caruson about it and see if he
will promise her a quick answer.
Bill Dodge has a lot of GAMEs he is working on. But she
told him not to hurry. She never had any success with his
games.
I told her that I would be seeing Al Richter on Saturday
and that if there were any games of his she was
doubtful about and wanted me to look at, she should
have him show them to me Saturday.
Finished the rules for EL TABLERO DE JESUS including
the points Dale brought up. Copies off a set to
send Pete (since BB is teaching this week). Later in
day BB looked at it and I mailed it.

talk to the B. & B. lawyer but they (Jim Rockwell or Mary?) had kept
him from doing so.
I asked about Alex and Tom said that Parker was taking
TRICKY TRACK (altho 3M is still interested in it). Tom sug-
gested that it could be an "n" person game by providing
separate boards for each player and that's the way it will
be done. Parker is also interested in OFF COURSE and
COLLISION COURSE as low ticket items. I said that
Alex had hit the jackpot and Tom said that at this time
last year Alex presumably had three things with Parker and
then they all fell thru. HOPPING-MAD-WAR, after initial
enthusiasm, has been turned done.
3M is interested in Alex' CHESS oriented games. They
already have a contract for GOOD KNIGHT and it looks
promising for BUFFALO & MAD MATE. It also looks very good for
TWIDDLY GOLF.
"Small Wonders" is going to do STRETCH BLOCKS (which Tom
says have pcs. that can branch out of the plane). Joyce's
partner has only allowed $5,000 for development of their
(cont. on 3/15)
