can travel wherever and whenever he wants. I said that once the
company needs me I might be <s>the</s> in the mood to give up my free
lance status for a good job. Phil said that would be great.
Phil mentioned that to make <u>CROSSFIRE</u> look different from <u>HEX</u>
he was thinking of using circles connected with "bridges." I
suggested that, instead of making some spaces "free" to both
players as he wanted to do to equalize the chances between
first and second play, some "bridges" be left out to acheive [achieve] the same
thing. He'll work on it.
 
At F.A.O. bought a game <u>FUTURES</u>. Not too great, but I got it for
$3 because it was the only one they had and the box was beat up.
Also got a catalog. Among other things, contained <u>MARK THREE</u>,
<u>SMARTY</u>, <u>CHUTZPAH</u>, <u>REX</u>, <u>TORPEDO ATTACK</u>, <u> TRIPLE YAHTZEE</u>, <u>AIRPORT</u>,
<u>PERQUACKEY</u>, <u>SCORE FOUR</u>, <u>4000 A.D></u>. (pages filed in '72 misc.)

Played two games of <u>ADD-A-LETTER</u> (BB won first, Anne 2nd).
First was played without players getting letters to
start, 2nd. with. They thought it was good for the
purpose, but not profound.
Later thought of two more variations. 1) The 5 letters per
person are all turned up together and players take turns pick-
ing one. 2) Letters already down in a word can be rearranged
with the new letter(s) being placed.
 
Rcd. [received] two copies of the magazine <u>LIFESTYLE</u>. Nothing on games.
