Went to the address given the ad for RATED X. Met Mitchell Todd, the inventor and also the manufacturer. He says it is doing very well. Read the rules. There are two paths on the board. Players stay on the other path until they lose all their clothes. Then they move to the inner path where they get opportunities to touch other players, etc., and also to collect "Kiss" cards, which determine the winner. The cards for females to draw are called "Crack Cards" and those for males "Dickie Cards." We agreed that the game wasn't right for me to review for either S & T or BOOK WORLD. But he said he'd give me a copy for my collection after he catches up with his orders.

He is coming out with another GAME, based on using E.S.P. to figure horse races, which he thinks I might be more able to write up. He took my card and will contact me when it is out.

To Felicia's. Graeme Levin was there. He came to Herb Roth's who wasn't there. He looked in Felicia's door and saw ACQUIRE on the wall and came in. Felicia may be able to help him get GAMES & PUZZLES in some stores, and get some advertisers, with appropriate fees for her.

A player landing on a tort can sue another player who is on either of the torts, or can sue more than 1 player - one at a time. If another player is on the same 2 torts he can be sued in both s[word cut off]
