18 FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 1972
49TH DAY - 317 DAYS TO COME
Rcd. an order for a FOCUS booklet together with a
25 [cent] check. Sent booklet.
Rcd. a letter from Bernie Lane with the ZINGO rules
from COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION Magazine and John Rasor's
shipping address.
Sent a note to Bernie thanking him and asking for a shipping
date for Selchow & Righter to send RSVP and SCRABBLE FOR JUNIORS.
Rcd. a package from Rose M. Wilson of Neo Press. Contained three
boards of different sizes with POLY - Y on one side
and MUDCRACK Y on the other; also rules for the former and stones
in fancy containers. Also a personal letter.
Rcd. a letter from Julian Clark Martin (who wrote to me before, as
an AGOG reader). he has decided to publish his GAME himself
and would like some info and where to get components. He'd
also like me to review it in S & T.
called Bob Hallowell (who was supposed to call me at the beginning of
the week). Told him I would work on the rules for the p. & p.
games over the weekend. Also told him about HEXOWORD and
TOURNEY. He wants me to get together with him and his designer in
New York next week. I suggested Thursday afternoon, since I'll probably
be in town then. He'll try to set it up. Now he's thinking of doing
only 5 or 6. Also he probably can't price it for less than $1.50.
Started going over the puzzles I already worked out for DIALEMMA
and came up with some new ones.
(cont. from 2/24) [2/24]
He showed me the packaging he worked up for the p. and p.
games. It is quite attractive with a wrap around sleeve
and a tray inside.
Rcd. a letter sent to S & T. asked info on LENSMAN and
SPACEVENTURE.
Rcd. a call from Gini Scott. Wants to get together but will
be in town all next week and I suggested that she call
me next Monday evening.
She has a puzzle with Hasbro - SCREWBALL, a plastic
ball with twelve screws that pit in different
directions. I said it sounded something like my
NINE OF SWORDS. She said she had her idea for years.
Her games packaged in cubes are not doing too well
(CONFRONTATION, THE LIB GAME, TRIAL.) They will
probably be repackaged.
