13 FRIDAY - OCTOBER 1972
287TH DAY - 79 DAYS TO COME

Drew the new diagram for JUNGLE RACE. To Boston Rd. for [illegible word crossed out] repros. [reproductions] To post office and sent a copy of S & T no. 32 to Rose Wilson of Neo Press.

Rcd. [received] a letter from Graeme Levin. Mentioned my column in G & P, my article on ACQUIRE, COMBINATION will probably be in no. 9, his agenting for AGOG and my games.

Rcd. [received] MIDGARD Forum no. 3.

To G.A.F. bringing the new rules for JUNGLE RACE to Bill Eckhart. He read them and found them much easier to Follow follow. He also had Mike (?) read them with the same results. He had a new model of the board with stylized animals in three different sizes, one behind the other. The corners were marked "Lion's Den", etc. and I suggested "Yellow Camp" in- stead.

Both JUNGLE RACE and VIEWLINE have been seen by top management. The latter was very well received. The former was also liked, but they complained about the rules.

Bill said I'd probably have "2 out of 4" of their new games for introduction at Toy Fair. The final answer should come in about 2 weeks. I asked about my doing more games and he said they'd certainly like to look at anything I came up with, altho [although] chances are it would have to be for 1974. From now on they want things that would be difficult (if not im- possible) to play with equipment other than View-Masters. Some of the other things they are looking at approach this.

To Chambers St. At 2nd hand book and magazine store bought ABOTT'S NEW CARD GAMES (a spare hardcover for future trading), PLAYING WITH WORDS, THE MYSTERIOUS FLEXAGONS.
At Job Lot bought 40 more plastic boxes at 5¢ each. And a large container of glue.

Jack Davis called while I was out. I'm to call him Monday.

Phil had message that from Jim Dunnigan that my S & T column is due on the 14th.

(cont. from 10/15)[10/18]

Scarne is also camp coming out with SCARNE 3000, which Stan thinks is a $3 version of SCARNE DICE. He is also having a book published which is a collection of games. Stan says there will be some new CANASTA variations and SCARNE RUMMY. [started 10/18]
