60TH DAY - 306 DAYS TO COME

Felicia called before I left. She can't locate the board for
TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS. She asked if I would recognize
it. Yes. I'll try to drop in at noon tomorrow. Joyce Swayze
will be there and Felicia (or rather I.S.) will get us lunch.
Yesterday Lillian Voegelin wanted to show AIRLINE to Bill Dohrmann.
At first he didn't want to look at it but, after Lillian said
it was mine, he did. After a moment he said they were
working on something similar and wouldn't look at it further.
I told Felicia about TORUS' similarity to SKYSCRAPERS. She
agreed that I should tell Bill Dohrmann about it.

To International Toy Show at New York Hilton. Very few games.
Spears : - In same format as QUANDARY and TOT-TEN had a new
one MATCH AND MEET. Each player has four pcs. (either same
color four different shapes, or same shape four
different colors - can't remember which). These
are started in the outside rows. In the
center 6 x 6 section each square is marked
with a shape and color in different combinations.
The outer rows are also marked with
shapes and colors which, I believe, tie down
the starting spaces for the pcs.

[Diagram of a 6 x 6 game board that has an additional row/ column of four centered around all four edges. 52 spaces in total.]

A pc. moves like a CHESS king, but only
to a space with matching color or shape.
object is to get 4 across first.
