within rings the inner ring counts. (In diagram red player  <br>
owns one castle, blue the other three.) [illegible crossed out]  <br>
The other spaces have directions, such as "Give 10% of all  <br>
your unplayed stones to King's Treasury"' "Collect 3 stones from  <br>
King's Treasury", etc. But the majority have "Pass" which  <br>
indicates no further action. I am pretty sure that stones on the  <br>
field are never influenced by these instructions.  <br>
Stones captured as in <u>GO</u> are kept by the capturer.  <br>
Occasionally stones will have to be swapped to get colors back into  <br>
the correct treasury. When a player is out of stones he loses.  <br>
(Fairly complete, but there may be a few things missing or wrong.)  <br>
Springbok has a series of "Bookcase Puzzles", two jig-saws packed in  <br>
a box very similar to the 3M; costs $8.00.
Back to ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>''. <u>Eve</u> read my column. Found it interesting.  <br>
She asked if this was a good year for games and I said "Yes".  <br>
She may change my intro to say this. When the proofs come  <br>
in she will contact me and I'll take a look at them.  <br>
Brought up the matter of <u>BUGS & LOOOPS</u> selling mainly by  <br>
mail order. She thought it was agood idea to add that info as a  <br>
footnote. I'll call her tomorrow with it.  <br>
Asked her if I should contact them next fall. "By all means - if  <br>
they are still in business." (?)  <br>
Stopped in at <u>Reiss</u> to see <u>Phil Orbanes</u>.  <br>
Spoke to <u>Bob Reiss</u> and and later to <u>Manny</u>. They will come to visit me next  <br>
Tuesday morning. Told them that I didn't have much in finished  <br>
form, but they wanted to come anyway.  <br>
Bob showed me an inclusion of <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u>, <u>PITFALLS</u>,  <br>
and <u>PLATO'S PLIGHT</u> in Dec. '71 ''<u>PLAYBOY</u>''.  <br>
Phil saw <u>Bill Knox</u> of Mag-Nif. He still doesn't have a contract for  <br>
<u>GROOVE</u>, but Phil is sure it will be O.K.  <br>
Bill is not sure about <u>HOLEY TERROR</u>. He thinks that  <br>
it looks too much like <u>GROOVE</u>. Phil tried to convince him  <br>
that it wasn't. He'll think about it some more.  <br>
Phil's <u>THE PYRAMID PUZZLE</u> is pretty sure. It will probably  <br>
be called something with Cleopatra to keep it in line  <br>
with <u>PLATO'S PLIGHT</u>.  <br>
They priced out <u>SPACE STIX</u> for 18 [cents] for the molded pieces.  <br>
