<u>Felicia</u> called. She wanted me to be present when <u>Gary Sherbell</u>
brings in his revised version of <u>TORTS- THE GAME OF LAWSUITS</u>,
made the date for 9/28 at 1 P.M.
She asked if I had any record of a game - <u>STONED</u>. The inventor
has been after her but hasn't contacted her. He left $2 across
the hall and wants his material returned. I told her that
she gave it to me and that I'll bring it next Thursday.
She got the rules for <u>PROFIT</u> and <u>PAYOFF</u> from across the hall. She
hasn't rcd. [received] any word from American Greetings, and she is getting
annoyed with them.
She said that <u>Leonard Willett</u> likes me, and is particularly impressed
with my game diary.
She inferred that she might have to take me up on my offer to
loan her money, but said it "would be a good deal for me."
<s>She started asking me about GAF (and </u>JUNGLE RACE</u>) but her phone rang.</s>
Rcd. [received] a letter from <u>Leonard Willett</u>. Thanked me for the $350 check
and suggested sending the other $350 after I receive "the loot."
Rcd. a short letter from an <u>''AGOG''</u> reader (or rather two) who are in-
terested in the pitfalls involved in marketing a game.
Tried a new version of <u>POST-HASTE</u>. Used the board and
other equipment and setup of 9/9. A player moves a pc. [piece] the
number of spaces equal to the number of pcs.,  including
the one moving, that are in the space. The color of the space
landed on indicates the player who plays next. Therefor a
player landing on his own color goes again. If there are three
playing the unused color gives the player landing there a-
nother turn. Also after a player has brought all his pieces
in that color becomes "wild." Played by myself. Then 2
hand ^with BB, one using green and blue, the other red and yellow.
The 2 red and 1 yellow spaces in a row at the bottom right
were too much of a handicap against the blue-green. I'll
need a new arrangement, and probably about 16 spaces in-
stead of 24.
Call from <u>Claude</u>. Date Friday. A magazine he saw at work
had reviews of some sports games. He'll try to get it
for me.
Call from <u>Gary Sherbell</u>. Confirmed the date for 9/28. He told
me a little about the reasons for his changes, but I told him to
hold onto them until we get together.

file boxes in the room. // Tried new <u>BONUS</u> ideas alone. O.K.
<u>Graeme Levin</u> here about 4, stayed for supper, and I
drove him to White Plains subway about 12:30.
Graeme brought me copies of <u>''GAMES & PUZZLES''</u> #5 and #6.
