The second game was much closer. <br> | |||
Played <u>AIR BATTLE</u> with Phil. It played O.K. except that the <br> | |||
record keeping was a little tricky. Phil suggested just <br> | |||
having the airfields and the guns, and I think he is right. | |||

At first showed me a <u>PUZZLE</u> he was working on. There were <br> | |||
twoplastic pcs. with two sizes of holes and <br> | |||
some spaces without holes (Similar to sketch shown). | |||

Object is to one pc. on the lower level <br> | |||
so that it is stable and the other on <br> | |||
the upper level. <br> | |||
This was rather easy, but he is making <br> | |||
another one with 3 levels, which will make <br> | |||
it much more challenging. <br> | |||
I asked about his "Checkerboard" <u>PUZZLES</u> (see 1/21). He <br> | |||
decided to try it with <u>Edson</u>. Edson was talking about <br> | |||
Hallmark or Gabriel. With Gabriel, Edson was talking about <br> | |||
having them marketed as <u>Piet Hein</u> puzzles, which didn't <br> | |||
make Al very happy. <br> | |||
