hadn't heard anything about its revival.  <br>
Called <u>Felicia</u>
Called <u>Felicia</u> about the matter of the forms. At first she was mad,
but finally said she would send another for <u>J'ACCUSE</u>.  <br>
<u>Felicia</u> saw <u>Bob Gellman</u> about the <u>HOLIDAY</u> contract. At first
he didn't like our addition (see 2/3) because he thought we
wanted the art work. Felicia told him that all we wanted was
the game.  <br>
<u>Felicia</u> asked how I was doing with <u>DIALEMMA</u> and I told her
I'd have it ready by Toy Fair.
 
Called <u>Daniel Mack</u> about Dana bringing the games to him after
6. After waiting about 5 minutes without him coming to the
line, I hung up. Called later and asked the girl. She said
to bring them thru the Church. <br>
Dana brought <u>ACQUIRE</u>, <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>, <u>TWIXT</u>, <u>SLEUTH</u>,
and <u>MR. PRESIDENT</u> to WRVR.
 
Called <u>Claude</u> and found he was at <u>Earl</u>'s. called there and
spoke to both of them. Possibly we'll get together next week.  <br>
<u>Earl</u> told me of a game one of his Chinese students told him
about, and which reminded him of <u>XANDO</u>. It is called
<u>3-6-9</u> and is played with pencil and paper. A 9 x 9 array is
drawn. Players in turn place an X in any space. When
a player places an X that makes a row of 3, 6, or 9 X's in
one, or both, orthogonal directions he scores that many
points. He also places another X and continues placing X's
until he places one that doesn't score. High score when
the 81 spaces are filled wins.  <br>
<u>Earl</u> said that diagonal lines can also be counted. I
tried it a little by myself and it's hard enough to see
just using orthogonals.  <br>
<u>Earl</u> said that he'd like to try his game <u>ASTROCASTICS</u> when,
and if I go there next week.
 
Sent <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u> disclosure form and a short letter to
<u>Keith Tuggle</u>.  <br>
Sent a condolence card to <u>Felicia</u>'s Claude - his brother's death.
