FRIDAY 9 APRIL Good Friday 1971 99th day - 266 days to come

Rcd. 2 sets of his rules for EL TABLERO DE JESÚS from Pete Swift.

Rcd. the FOCUS release which had been sent to Felicia. Signed it and sent it back to Western Printing.

Rcd. a catalog sheet for RACE FOR SPACE. There is a distributor in the Bronx and I'll call him. It is also handled by Gameophiles Unlimited.

At the "Berdicks" looked at the TIMES magazine section. Had the following ad:- Crossword Puzzle Buffs, SARK is here. A game for everyone 8 to 80. The exciting and challenging cross- word puzzle card game that's sweeping the nation! Play it a- lone or with up to 6 players. Set your own pace while expanding your word power - thousands of letter combinations are possible! You'll have hours of fun as you score horizontally and vertically, spelling out words as you go. From the publishers of world-fam- ous Merit Line of Crossword Puzzle Magazines and the "Six Foot Puzzle." Introductory mail order price for the SARK game only $2.00, postpaid (regular price, $3.95). Send check or money order to dept. 5, Gilberton Co., 99 Fifth Ave., N.Y., N.Y., 10003. (From information got phone number - WA4-7040.)

Played 3-hand PLANES with BB and Dale. Each has one sym- bol and can only take a plane in which that is in the ascendent, except that the neutral symbol can be greater without having bearing. We played with each player simply scoring his planes. As an alternate scoring I may include a scoring where whenever a player scores the player to his right loses the same amount. This will make players play against the next one to play. It did play very well. The board tended to get quite full.

Rcd. a very pleasant letter from Don Greenwood of PANZERFAUST. He would like me to write for him when I get the opportunity, but not to hurry. They will be photo offset soon. He enjoys my column in S&T. He thinks that aside from the major game and my column the magazine is too historically oriented.

Rcd. a second letter from Dr. Manuel Ma. Risueño. He was told that TEMPO was a good game but can't remember by whom. Now that he knows it is mine he'll buy it when he comes to the U.S. in October. He'd like the rules of CAROUSEL. They have a game called CAROUSEL which is a stops game. He also told me the rules of COCKTAIL, a trick taking game with 5 different hands. [red line bracket to top of paragraph that starts with "Rcd. a very pleasant letter..."] This happened 4/10.
