and short stubs leading to it are reached. Then players can
capture by replacement. (Very rough idea.) Told Jerry that there
is a real <u>CHINESE CHESS</u> and he said the name was being changed.
They are interested in adding to the line and will call in a few weeks.
I'll work thru Felicia, of course.
Met Gini Scott showing games to <u>Bob Hallowell</u> and <u>Carl Eis-
enberg</u>. Said hello but she wasn't pleased to see m.e
Sgt. Pepper Sales: <u>TURN-TAC-TOE</u> (See 1970, except that the
manufacturer is now given as Gamecraft - not Skor-Mor. Altho I
may have been mistaken.); <u>NIMBLE NUMBERS</u>, <u>ROAMIN NUMERALS</u>
and a letter <u>GAME</u> whose name I forget (didn't get details
of the last two). They are supposed to send samples (pre-
vious year's model and less fancy) of all except the first.
They have a puzzle <u>THE PHILOSOPHER'S DILEMMA</u>, which is
identical with <u>PLATO'S PLIGHT</u>. (They said the latter was a knock-off.)
Four Generations: Attractive wood puzzles - <u>MAGIC MARBLE</u>, <u>ODD BALL</u>,

games <u>NEW TIC TAC TOE</u> (didn't get what was new), <u>SHREWD MOVE</u>

He found that they were shipping him the seconds and selling the good

country. A suction dart is thrown to choose one.
Met <u>Frank Armbruster</u> and he, I, and <u>Joyce Swayse</u> to lunch at Childs.
I offered, but Frank payed.
Frank met Claude during day. He is ready to give Claude a
contract for <u>GENIUS BLOCKS</u>. He was also thinking about doing
<u>BIG FUNERAL</u> but Joyce thought it had a very limited market.
I mentioned the article I was sent concerning <u>MONOPOLY</u> and
Frank would like a copy. [crossed out]
Told Frank about problem with three way split on
<u>DOMINO BEAD GAME</u>. Showed him <u>POTENTIAL</u> and he liked the
idea. Didn't have the board along, so I'll send it to him.
Frank said he'd like a <u>GAME</u> using triangular pieces. I
told him I'm sure I can come up with one. I also told him
that he probably could get control of <u>PSYCHE PATHS</u>. He
