They thanked me for my work and for coming there and said  <br>
the check would be sent right out.  <br>
 
At Brentano's looked at <u>RICOCHET</u> and got the info on the  <br>
board, which I later added to the rules repros.
 
At F.A.O. Schwarz looked at <u>CHECKERS III</u>. The rules on the outside  <br>
just gave a version for 3 players. The board is shown  <br>
in the catalog (rcd. 11/2). Each player has 9 checkers  <br>
(not cubes as the catalog states) which are started in  <br>
the first two rows, on the light spaces. Men move and jump  <br>
only in the two forward directions. Kings are obtained in  <br>
the 5 triangle row across the board and Kings can move and  <br>
jump in all 6 directions.  <br>
Looked at <u>PLAY ON WORDS</u> for a moment. It is played with letter  <br>
dice which are placed on a <u>SCRABBLE</u> type (but smaller)  <br>
board with the object of getting the highest score thru  <br>
taking advantage of the spaces.
 
In Bloomingdale's the 8th floor toy section had what  <br>

<u>ACQUIRE</u> or gamettes. In the stationary they only had  <br>

(See 11/9.)
 
<u>Phil Orbanes</u> called while I was out and left word that I  <br>
should be there tomorrow to meet with <u>Bill Knox</u> at 2:00.  <br>
I called him to see if I could make it a little later so that I  <br>
