Gave a copy of <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u> to Edith to give to her son-in-law. | |||
In an antique store in Brooklyn Heights <u>Phil</u> saw a puzzle, <br> | |||
published in 1927, selling for $4.50. It is a "sliding <br> | |||
block" puzzle with pieces as shown, except that the horizontal <br> | |||
and vertical pieces on the bottom row <br> | |||
might be reversed. Object is to reverse the <br> | |||
square blocks 1 and 3. A solution in 184 moves was <br> | |||
included. (The shaded spaces are empty.) Titled <u>SLIDING BLOCK PUZZLE</u>, <br> | |||
he believes. | |||
[Diagram of a square puzzle grid divided into 9 large squares. 3 large squares are placed diagonally containing the numbers "1", "2", and "3" from upper left to bottom right; 1 square is divided into 4 small squares, 2 of these small squares are darkened indicating that they are empty spaces; 5 of the squares are divided in half to form 10 vertical or horizontal rectangles.] | |||

games to display. He'll take them with him and have <br> | |||
them shipped to Rochester. He'll be getting boards for <br> | |||
display either 3' x 4' or 4' x 4'. As a rough guess I told <br> | |||
him to figure 5 games on a large board, and 3 on a small. | |||
<u>Sandra Garson</u> here shortly after Herb left. The first thing <br> | |||
she asked me if I had heard of a game reviewer, <br> | |||
<u>Quentin Serebrahl</u>. She had seen his name in an article in <br> | |||
the ''<u>NATIONAL OBSERVER</u>'' on the "Game Market" - Dec. 14th '70. <br> | |||
Told her it was a gag and showed her ''<u>PACE</u>'' Mag., Dec. '69. <br> | |||
She saw this clipping in a file of game articles at <u>Mike Alber</u>'s. <br> | |||
Another one was <u>''NEWSWEEK''</u> (12/7/70) which mentioned <br> | |||
<u>GHETTO</u> and other games. <br> | |||
She spent quite a bit of time talking about <u>DIPLOMACY</u> with <br> | |||
the manufacturer. They told her about an article in <br> | |||
''<u>PAN AMERICAN CLIPPER</u>'' that included it and other games (Oct.71). <br> | |||
She was going to dig up a copy of the political games <br> | |||
in ''<u>WALL STREET JOURNAL</u>''. Gave her one of the two that <br> | |||
Dynamic Design sent me. <br> | |||
She is aware that someone is preparing an article on adult <br> | |||
games for ''<u>PARADE</u>'' (Magazine or Sunday Supplement?). She doesn't <br> | |||
know the date. <br> | |||
Her article will be in the American Airlines inflight <br> | |||
magazine (name?), most likely in August. It will be <br> | |||
about 12 pages long. She will give a detailed account <br> | |||
of <u>ACQUIRE</u>, <u>INSIGHT</u>, <u>GROUP THERAPY</u>, & <u>TRANSACTION</u>. <br> | |||
Told her that <u>ACQUIRE</u> was 90% skill and 10% luck after <br> | |||
she mentioned that <u>MONOPOLY</u> was 90% luck. <br> | |||
Gave her the name of <u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u>'s inventor. <br> | |||
She tried to get it from Urban Systems, but didn't find <br> | |||
them very helpful. She doesn't feel like it but she'll <br> | |||
probably mention <u>SMOG</u>. <br> | |||
We both agreed that <u>E.S. Lowe</u> was the least cooperative. <br> | |||
