MONDAY - 5 JUNE 1972
157TH DAY - 209 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. card from Don Miller. He'd like the copies of FEUDAL
and TWIXT. He thinks he sent the copy of THE GAMESMAN #1
to someone else. He'll send me LE JEU DU LIESNARD BELLIQUEX
as soon as he gets it back from a loan.

Sent card to Lou Zocchi about STAR TREK BATTLE MANUAL.
Also mentioned TEAMSTER, BATS IN THE BELFRY, and STOCK EXCHANGE.

Call from Martin Gardner. He rcd. a letter from a "Steve Ryan Game Co."
in California. They asked if he would be interested in any of
their games for his column. He wondered if I knew anythin about it,
which I didn't. He'll write and try and find out more about it.
In his June '72 column he has a game called SLITHER, which was done
(if I remember correctly) by David Silverman of YOUR MOVE.
An array of dots of any size - with 5x 6 suggested as a start -
are placed on a sheet of paper. Players in turn The first
player places a line connecting two dots orthogonally. Then
in turn players add one unit of line orthogonally from
either end until a player cannot play other than to close
the line, not necessarily end to end. (A scoring system
can be worked out based on the number of squares in
the enclosed portion.)
