20 SUNDAY - FEBRUARY 1972
FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT - 315 DAY TO COME

Made a new board and dice for LOTTERY.

Had BB call Earl to thank him for the Japanese print he gave
me Thursday. Spoke to him about games in general.

Played MASTERPIECE with BB and Dale using the new rules
I thought of yesterday. Quite good.

(cont. from 2/21) [2/23]

from the old to the new edition of SUMMIT. Did [say] that
they had checked it very carefully, but that he would
appreciate my writing to him when I had a chance to look at
it again.
Mickey suggested that I contact her after Toy Fair and
she'd take me to lunch.

When I was at Felicia's, after Dohrmann left, a game inventor
called and she had him come right up with his GAME.
It was played on a 6 x 6 grid. To start a die is thrown
twice to determine a starting space. The first player places
his marker here, then markers are placed in turn. Object
is to get 4 or 5 in a row. A 5 wins immediately. The
first 4 scores 1 1/2 and each after counts 1. If no 5 is made,
high score wins. Two games are played, the second being
started from the same position but the other player goes first.
Must win both or it is a tie.

Rcd. the a correct 1099 form from 3M and wrote a letter
to Michaelson informing him.
Rcd. a letter from Nancy Weber of LIFESTYLE. She can't
convince the others to have a game column column, yet. She'll return
AGOG to me after she has studied it thoroughly.

Bernie Lane called while I was out. He'll call tomorrow morning .
Frank Thibault called while I was out and then called back. He
didn't want to put Berniece out but I prevailed on him to
come for supper tomorrow night.

Tried to write up the rules
