[Diagram
[Diagram of a 7 x 3 rectangular board. There are red, white, and green circles down the edge columns of the board. The center column has stars in each square.]
 
Two play and each controls three pcs. on one end of the  <br>
board. There are three "tactiles", each of a different shape,  <br>
and colored to match the three pcs. Players in turn hold a tactile in their fist  <br>
and the other guesses the color. If he guesses wrong the  <br>
other moves the color he held. If he guesses right no  <br>
piece is moved. As soon as any two pcs. reach the  <br>
center stars the round is over. A player scores one  <br>
point for reaching the center. A player loses one point  <br>
for not moving a pc. from the starting position and can  <br>
end up with a minus score. Play rounds until one player  <br>
has 5 points. (Fairly complete idea.)

<u>Earl Perel</u> called. He has applied for a government grant to  <br>
study garietric (spelling?) used of games and got back forms  <br>
to be filled out. He asked if I'd want to work with him  <br>
on it. Sure. He discussed it with <u>Claude</u>, who doesn't want  <br>
to quit his job but might fit in as a consultant. Earl also  <br>
is thinking of asking  <u>Wald and Arthur</u> but I don't think  <br>
that that would be a good idea - too many different opinions.  <br>
We'll get together next week to discuss it further.  <br>
Earl wrote to <u>S.W. Wynn</u> about <u>HEXAGO</u> (see 3/18).  <br>
 
Went over the parts I brought back from Rochester. Put the  <br>
material on <u>4000 A.D.</u> and <u>DRUG ATTACK</u> on shelf [26]. Put the material  <br>
on <u>NOSTALGIA</u> on shelf [14].
