Letter from <u>Mary Hilt</u>. Since only 2,500 have been printed
she will let the <u>TRANSFORMATION</u> rules run as is.
Got an idea for making <u>OPEN BRIDGE</u> into a special equip-
ment game - for Hallmark. Later in day got idea for
an x-word puzzle <u>GAME</u> using definitions on cards, to
be dealt out and traded - also for Hallmark.
Gave a copy of <u>''AGOG''</u> to Sonny & Iris' son for his bar-mitzvah.

is published. He'll discuss it with <u>Arthur</u>.
Called <u>Claude</u>. Told him about Stationery Show so far. Asked
him about <u>DOMINO BEAD GAME</u>. He would be satified with
16 2/3% and I suggested 50% - 25% - 25%. He'd be willing
to give the Amberstones part of his share if they want.
Claude was interested in some of Ideal's new action games, such
as <u>CROSSFIRE</u>, <u>COUNTERACT</u>, etc. Described them to him.

He and Anne will come here next week.
Thought that my game <u>POTENTIAL</u> might be good for <u>Frank

<u>CHESS</u> type game with cubes moving by rolling one face
per space, until a red face shows. Cubes have 2, 3, or
4 red faces.

have a game, <u>SHOTZEE</u> which is somewhat like <u>YAHTZEE</u>. They
are supposed to send me copies, within a few weeks.
B. &  R.: <u>PURE GREED</u> is the new name for Createk's <u>SPECULATION</u>.
<u>DODECA</u> - played with 6 dohecahedrons [dodecahedrons] of different colors. Three
are keyed to "strong", "average", and "weak" hitters. When such a
hitter is reached in the lineup that die is used, but always to-
gether with a 4th die. Certain symbols on the hitter dice refer
the thrower to the play on the 4th die. A 5th die gives results
when a "sacrifice" is called and a 6th for "stolen bases." (Rough
idea.)
Puzzle Factory: <u>Jerry Green</u> and Pat said hello. They had dum-
mies of <u>DICTIONARY</u> (the game of either giving true de-
finitions or bluffing, for obscure words and <u>CHINESE CHESS</u>,
a trivial path game of moving pieces by dice throw towards
