Rcd. [received] <u>THE GAMESMAN</u> #1 from <u>Don Miller</u>. Almost all of it is devoted to
<u>JETAN</u>.
Called <u>Red</u> to ask him when my next <u>S & T </u> column is due. Middle of
October or a litter later.
While I was out <u>Marvin Channing</u> and <u>Fay Hartog</u> called. I'm to call Marvin
tomorrow, and I'll have to call to clear up Fay's message.

<u>SOLITAIRE DICE</u> (I have to rewrite the rules. Carl said to simplify if nec-
essary to shorten the rules), <u>PLOT</u>, <u>COUNTERPOINT</u> (his <u>GO-MOKU</u>
variation; told him Whitman used the name), <u>CROSSFIRE</u> (<u>HEX</u>, which
Phil discovered himself when trying to put <u>BRIDGIT</u> onto paper),
<u>WORDS FOR THE WISE</u>, <u>FRIDAY THE 13TH</u>, <u>NINE LIVES</u>. (Told Phil that
Ideal has a <u>CROSSFIRE</u>.)
With <s>my six original</s> my original six games they'll be able to get
the 12 games they need for the 2 series. However, they'd love
to have a Solitaire game, that is purely a Solitaire game. Phil said
that <s>we</s> he was able to come up with competative [competitive] games, but not
Solitaires. I said I'd work on one and later thought of an
idea I called <u>NO WAY</u>.
Phil met <u>Graeme Levin</u> [illegible word crossed out] when Graeme visited Simulations. <u>Jim</u> was
polite to Graeme, but terse. Phil spent some time with Graeme
and they got along well. Phil may do some writing for <u>GAMES & PUZZLES</u>.
Phil suggested that we each take 45% of the proceeds from the
p & p games. The remaining 10% will go partly to INFINITY-QUEST
and partly to <u>Fred Feucht</u> to make up for his expenses on the project.
I agreed, and suggested possibly giving a larger percentage to I-Q
and Fred.
Rcd. call from <u>Jerry D'Arcey</u>, back from the hospital and feeling
fine. He is thinking of going into manufacturing more seriously,
with the idea of getting things started and then placing them
with big companies, like he did with <u>COUP D'État</u>.
Jerry has placed <u>OH HELL</u> (which some gal did) with Cadaco.
While in the hospital he blocked out a book on the background of
the game companies. His agent is interested in it. Told him
that a similar one is in the works (Marvin Katz's) but none of the
details.
Told him that <u>THE IMPUZZABLES</u> would probably be in the December
<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>.
