To Boston Post Rd. and got repros [reproductions] of the material on <u>STONED</u>.
Also got repros of the three letters <u>Martin Gardner</u>
loaned me on 9/7. One from <u>G.W. Lewthwaite</u> had an unnamed
<u>GAME</u> and one called <u>MEANDER</u> (which can be played with
the <u>AMOEBA</u> equipment). <u>Martin S. Feather</u> sent <u>FEZ</u>, <u>G.G.
Stewart</u> sent an unnamed <u>GAME</u>.
Bought at John's 6 sets of plastic pieces in 4 colors
(total 120 of each color). Sold as a cheap imitation of
<u>DEELIE BOBBERS</u>.
Rcd. [received] call from <u>Fred Feucht</u>. He has a date set up with <u>Marshall
Lucas</u> at the M.B. [Milton Bradley] Showroom for Friday at 10, to show him the
six original p & p games (<u>XANDO</u>, etc.). He asked if I
wanted to be there and I said "yes."
Called <u>Phil Orbanes</u> and told him. <u>Reiss</u> would be very upset
if M.B. took those games. He'll get together with Fred tomorrow
and see what can be worked out.
Phil saw <u>Carl</u> about the contract terms today. They also
discussed the games. They (Hoi Polloi) decided that
<u>GREAT WALL OF CHINA</u> was too confusing. Phil came up with a variation
of <u>BOXES</u> which <s>used</s> uses a map of China as a background.
There is a tessallation [tessellation] of (I believe) hexes, squares, and tri-
angles with light lines defining the pattern (similar to
my previous idea). The'll [They'll] call it <u>CHINESE CHECK</u>.
The other games in the running are <u>SPACE STATIONS</u>
