THURSDAY 1 APRIL 1971

91st day - 274 days to come

Called Mickey Mackay to find out number of players for STAY ALIVE. We'll get together for lunch after I finish jury duty.

Date with BB, Claude, and Anne. Claude returned my book SERIOUS GAMES. He bought a paperback copy.

Working on S&T column during day.

Claude told me that he saw a scholarly book on games around the world at Arcadia Book Store. Didn't re- member name, author or publisher.

They each have maps of the appropriate areas showing cities. Cities are joined by lines of 3 different colors, representing railroads, airplanes, and steamships. Players get a number of city cards at the beginning. They must visit all these cities and return to a starting point. They may determine the order in which they do the visiting. Movement is by throw of one die (I believe but on a turn a player must make the move all on one means of trans- portation. Player may move less than the die throw, in- cluding no move at all. (Fairly complete rules.)

Felicia called. She had asked me if I could get some info on the G. & R. games for her report. But she went there and got a complete catalog with list prices, etc.
The secretary said I had been in, and that I was crazy about SOLAR BASES. (Where did she get that idea?)
Felicia said that she already sent off the four games to Mary Hilt.

Sent a letter and the AIRLINE and TRANSFORMATION contracts to Tom Atwater, after signing them.
