15 FRIDAY - DECEMBER 972

350TH DAY - 16 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. [received] X'Mas [Christmas] cards from Paul Greenough, Stan Chess, and Quantra Development Corp, (BEAT-THE-COMPUTER! - Eugene Primoff)
Rcd. [received] 20 more copies of my BOOK WORLD column.

Dale quit her job at S&T. Couldn't get along with Beth.

Made a new calculation wheel for THE BRAIN GAME, starting at $80,000 and losing $ 2,000 for each divergence. Made a new board [illegible word crossed out] with the [illegible word crossed out] 9 spaces (2 for the special cards) in a radial pattern.

Played with the Laurences. Good but I'd still like to get more trading into it. They also felt the board was very con- fining - particularly BB.

(cont. [continued] from 12/16) [12/16]

have taken me some time to find the parts. I'll bring it with me next time we get together.

Stan Chess said that he has been quite successful in getting game companies to advertise in his upcoming magazine GAME. He has been neglecting the editorial end of the magazine and now will have to work hard to get it ready. (Gail, who also came here, is working with him.)

Looking thru [through] my "52 Variety Game Chest" he saw a word game ALPHABETICS, also CHEK-A-WORD, which he said is similar to a new version of FORE FOUR-PLAY by George which will be the centerfold game for GAME. I asked him whether George will be supplying all the games, No, and he wants to get together with me in a few weeks to talk about it.

We also discussed game review columns and he would like to try and [illegible word crossed out] syndicate a column by me. (At present his bicycle column is in only 3 papers and he is losing money on it.) I mentioned Roger Verhulst's and Richard Moon's columns.

Stan thinks that NEWSDAY will be running a puzzle column by George regularly - at $75 a column. George said that they asked for one column, with no indication of wanting more.
