<br>VETERANS' DAY - 297TH DAY - 69 DAYS TO COME


----
Put the finishing touches on the eight games for today,
putting on contact and cutting the boards in half.
<s>To Fred Feucht</s> Didn't get a call from <u>Fred Feucht</u> so I
called him. In and I arranged to go there at 1:30 today.
To <u>Fred</u>'s and showed him what I did with <u>AIR BATTLE</u>,
<u>WILDCAT</u>, and <u>SWORDSMAN</u>. Actually I made mistake by using
a matte surface for the boards [illegible word crossed out] because the crayon
doesn't go on smoothly. He tried a grease pencil and
that seems to work better. He kept the boards and will get
some grease pencils for a presentation.
We played <u>TAKE-A-WORD</u> (he played first and beat me by 2
points) and he liked it.
To Brentano's and saw three of the <u>Piet Hein</u> puzzles
<u>Edson</u> spoke to me about last year. <u>BLOXBOX</u> is the 7 small
<s>boxes</s> Blocks inside a transparent box. <u>CRUX</u> is the three wooden
pieces that meet at a point. <u>TWICHIT</u> is a 12 surfaced
solid with the 12 pentagons mounted so that they can
turn. Different symboles on the edges must be matched.
Also saw <u>GENERATION RAP</u> and <u>THE GARBAGE GAME</u>, both
by the same manufacturer. Didn't see the inside of the
first and just glanced at the second. There are jigsaw
pcs. [pieces] that must be put together into a number of dif-
ferent pictures. If a player takes too many pcs. [pieces] he is
penalized for waste. It is packaged in a plastic garbage can.
To Grey Advertising for meeting with <u>Phil Orbanes</u>
