24 FRIDAY - MARCH 1972
84TH DAY - 282 DAYS TO COME
Rcd. letter from Leonard Willett. He is going to file for refunds on my
1969 & 1970 state tax. He wanted me to send him my returns
for the state those years. Got repros at Boston Post Road. Also
5 repros of the HEXOWORD and TOURNEY sheet, and 5 repros
of two WILDCAT diagrams together.
Rcd. a package from S&R with SCRABBLE (Russian), RSVP, and
PARCHEESI, and BALI (new packaging).
Bernie Lane called. The Xerox shop loves the challenge of the
games, but is charging about $4,700 for the wood items,
which leaves out 3D TTT and MILL. I told Bernie that
MILL could just as well be done in mosonite. Bernie will
look into it.
Told Bernie again (having told Sym), about the 12' x 12'
PARCHEESI board. We'll have it sent, either to hang,
on the wall or to be played, if the 12' x 12' CHESS set
doesn't come thru. I figured that we can easily make pcs.
Sym had not told Bernie about the problem of crating the
giant RSVP. Bernie said that Xerox was counting on it and
he'd work out something on the shipping. Gave him Lee
Tiffany's number and he'll contact him. He'll call me early next week.
Lillian Barasch was over. Played WILDCAT with her , BB, and Phil.
Everyone liked it. Gave a 2-point bonus for getting all wells
in a section.
Earl Perel called. He suggested SALES TERRITORY as a name instead
of COLD WAR, a good idea.
We discussed 4000 A.D. a little. Yesterday he had suggested
that when partners play they take stars in opposite
corners instead of the two at one end. I think that would
allow a set of partners to squeeze one opponent between
them, ending the game too quickly. He doesn't.
Thought of the name FENCES as a substitute for TOURNEY.
Called Fred Feucht. He'll add it to a list he is compiling.
Thinking about the TANGRAMS game. Try in a 3 and 4
hand game, a prohibition of a player placing a piece
so that an edge, or possibly even a corner, touches
one of a player's own pcs.
(cont. from 4/14) [4/14]
His main effort will be to line up representatives
around the country to handle the entire line. Possibly
G & R in this area.
To Boston Post Road for 20 repros of CONTOURS and the other p & p. GAME.
(cont. on 3/19)
