Finished the rules for <u>LOTTERY</u>, including a simplified ending,
where each Office is counted at $2,000.
Did the rules for <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u>.


At Dale's wedding Rick (Dale's friend) mentioned that two
of his friends had <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u> and that he saw
an ad for it, probably in the ''<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>''.
New York ''<u>TIMES</u>'' had article on Toy Fair, but no ads. Very little
on games in the article. (Filed in 1972 Misc. [miscellaneous] folder.)

the games. They are trying to get reps since their salesmen
don't seem to be able to sell games. He hopes that with slow
improvement <s>that</s> by 5 years they should be earning something.
Took the catalog. New are <u>TAKE A CHANCE</u> & <u>DECEPTION</u> which
Mary will send me. They also have an <s>addition</s> edition of
<u>SPITE 'N' MALICE</u> and <u>SHANGHAI</u> (which Mary says is the
same as <u>ZIONCHECK</u>). Also there is a party game <u>FIG LEAF</u>
which Mary says features complete frontal nudity (see catalog)
and is played like <u>PIN THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY</u>. <u>TRANSFORMATION</u> is
still in, as well as the peg games. (Filed in 1972 Misc.)  <br>
Norton said they'd like some sophisticated card <u>GAME</u>s to go with
their <u>FIG LEAF</u>. Also a fast moving gambling <u>GAME</u> played with
cards, but something new. I described <u>HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME</u> to
him and he didn'y care for it. Described <u>BIG FUNERAL</u> and he
was interested. (<s>I believe that</s> Norton said that I had till the
end of <s>April</s> June to get things in - for which year?)  <br>
Met <u>Felicia</u> there. (<u>Lillian Voegelin</u> is showing things to <u>Bill Dohrmann</u>
this morning.) Felicia took Mary to lunch, but Norton joined
them and paid.  <br>
K.D. Products : - had the Canadian game <u>STOCK TICKER</u>. Also
<u>SHUFFAKURL</u> an action combination with <u>CURLING</u>, <u>SHUFFLEBOARD</u>,
and <u>HORSE RACING</u>. And <u>ARMCHAIR GOLF</u>. (Have rules for "Golf"
and a sheet in 1972 Misc.)  <br>
Andrews Enterprises : - <u>MAD-CAPS</u>, a set of 26 puzzles. (Sheet
with additional notes filed in 1972 Misc.)  <br>
Malmurph Enterprises : - Got rules for <u>BACK-COURT</u> and
<u>BLUE-LINE</u>. (Later got the games and added this set of rules.)  <br>
Contemporary Products, Inc. : - Got a copy of their game
<u>HEX-TAC-TOE</u>. In a few months, Mr. Roberts told me, he will be
coming out with new rules of other games that can be played
with the same equipment, such as <s>playing</s> placing the triangles
so that a symmetrical pattern is formed. A player loses when
he places a piece that cannot be matched symmetrically. Another
variation is to play that no two of the same color can adjoin, and
another that colors must always adjoin. (Didn't get the details.)
Told him to send me the new rules when they were out and  <br>
