<u>Arthur</u> called. He & <u>Wald</u> are going to give free lessons in char-
acter readings with the <u>HIGH DECK</u>. He thought that possibly BB
might be interested in coming, or some of her friends. I told him
that I'd check with BB and she'd call if she wanted to come.
He also said that they have revised <u>FOLLY</u>, and that he'll show
it to me when we get together.
Rcd. a cassette from <u>Lech Pijanowski</u>. (I'll have to get a
player so that I can listen to it.)
Rcd. <u>THE LIB GAME</u> from <u>Gini Scott</u>.
Wrote to <u>Keith Tuggle</u>, sending him a marked up set of rules for
<u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>. Asked him to let me know that he rcd. it,
also to eventually send me another set of the rules to replace the
one I sent him.
Wrote to <u>Jim Kraus</u>, thanking him for <u>SLEUTH</u> and telling him that I
was eagerly awaiting his reaction to <u>PLANES</u>.
Wrote to <u>Tom Atwater</u>. Thanked him for the 1st quarter check.
Told him that I also haven't rcd. a check for <u>AIRLINE</u> &
<u>TRANSFORMATION</u>. Sent comments on the following games:-
<u>!@#C&*! GAME</u>, <u>TIC-TAC-TOTAL</u>, Stewart Coffin's <u>GAME</u>, <u>AZTEC</u>,
<u>SKULL ISLAND</u>.
Wrote to <u>V.I. Gunther</u> sending her $2 for <u>BUNCO</u>.
Played my <u>GAME</u> idea of 4/18 with <u>Phil Laurence</u>. At first
played that when your move was guessed you lost twice the num-
ber, but you couldn't end up with less than 0 on a turn.
This made it too attractive to gamble for big scores at the be-
ginning of a turn. Then tried that you can get a minus
score on a turn, but cannot go below 0 in your cumulative. This
might work out, but I'll have to test it further. One possible
idea - if a player hits - a certain number of times, he loses.
Played MASTERPIECE. It is very attractive, but it is primarily
a question of the luck
