Rcd. a letter from <u>W.H. Rawlings</u> in answer | Rcd. a letter from <u>W.H. Rawlings</u> in answer to mine concerning his <br> | ||
<u>CRISS-CROSS</u> puzzles. Told me the sources for <u>VETO</u> (<u>AGOG</u>!!</u>), <br> | |||
<u>KAOOA</u>, <u>SIXE-ACE</u>, <u>TEDCO3D</u>, and <u>COMPROMISE</u>. He has invented <br> | |||
<u>PROXIMITY CHESS</u>. <br> | |||
The following games are played by <u>NOST</u> members, all from <br> | |||
<u>AGOG</u>, <u>LINES OF ACTION</u>, <u>LAP</u>, <u>PAPER BOXING</u>, <u>LAST WORD</u>, <u>BLUE AND GRAY</u>, <br> | |||
<u>CUPS</u>, <u>CROSSINGS</u>, <u>THREE MUSKETEERS</u>, <u>KNIGHT CHASE</u>, <u>NETWORK</u>, <br> | |||
and <u>CUTTING CORNERS</u>. <br> | |||
He would like to play postally, almost anything but <u>CHECKERS</u>. | |||
<u>Tom Atwater</u> here for lunch. Among topics discussed : - <br> | |||
''<u>SOMA</u>'' newsletter will have only one more issue. General Mills is <br> | |||
getting very stingy, Billings & Reece puts it out for a flat fee <br> | |||
and barely makes expenses. <br> | |||
<u>Stewart Coffin</u>'s <u>HECTIX</u> is selling very well in red-white-and blue. <br> | |||
The things he puts out himself are also selling. <br> | |||
Tom has heard reports of people seeing <u>NEO-CHESS</u> on sale, even <br> | |||
tho 3M didn't have it on display at the show. | |||
<u>Earl</u> called and asked me to bring some things to the meeting at <br> | |||
his house tonight. Brought the following. Mag-Nif folder <br> | |||
to send to Japan (to the company that Earl wants to talk <br> | |||
in to manufacturing games). 2 copies of <u>AGOG</u> (1 for Earl <br> | |||
and one for Japan.) <u>GODFATHER GAME</u> (violin case version) to <br> | |||
loan to Issie indefinitely. ''<u>S & T</u>'' #29 & #31 for Japan. <br> | |||
Played <u>Claude</u>'s <u>FAR AWAY PLACES</u> (<u>LOA</u>). 16 of the spaces are <br> | |||
marked (with blue here but Claude <br> | |||
will use travel pictures). When two <br> | |||
play each has 12 pcs. When four <br> | |||
play each has 6 pcs. With partners <br> | |||
sitting across from each other. Play <br> | |||
as in <u>LOA</u>. | |||
[Diagram of an 8 x 8 grid board. 16 spaces marked in blue. In the corners (clockwise starting from top left) are groups of dots. 6 red, 6 green with black, 6 red with black, and 6 green.] | |||
A player (or team) wins <br> | |||
when all his (it's) remaining pcs. are <br> | |||
on blue squares. (Played 4 hand and it <br> | |||
was just about as good as the original.) <br> | |||
Played a little <u>DIALEMMA</u> but they <br> | |||
couldn't see it and didn't care for <br> | |||
it. Decided that I'll have to supply <br> | |||
a set of easier patterns for beginners. <br> | |||
Played <u>AIRPORT</u> and it was quite good. There were a few points <br> | |||
not clear in the rules. Also we didn't finish in close to <br> | |||
3 hours of play. <br> | |||
Claude gave a copy of ''<u>GROWTH GAMES</u>''. (Wouldn't take $1.50, <br> | |||
saying I have been giving him things.) | |||
