5 Monday - March 1973
64th Day - 301 Days to Come

Thought of an idea for a simple equipment game, tentative name - ARROWS. A sheet of paper is divided into a field of squares. There is a regular die and one with the four directions. Players in turn throw the two dice and place an arrow of their color in a space of their choice. It must point in the direction thrown and also the number is noted. Player tries to get a continuous path from one side to the other using the direction and rouge of the arrows. (This is very rough. Much more has to be done.)
Another idea I had about a week ago is for a PUZZLE that is a HABITAT variation. The pcs. [pieces] consist of square rings with slots in varying positions on the edges. Pcs. must be piled so that the slots interlock.

Bob Gellman called. We agreed on about 18 dice plus some die- cut cardboard for PATTON. He'd like it by 4/1 but 4/15 will be O.K. if I need the time to perfect the game.

Rcd. [received] a letter from Haar Hoolim. Mentioned UP, THE COMPASS GAME, TAKE BALL TAKE ALL, BITS, HEX, SIM, 7UP. Sent copies of a letter from and to Or-Da. Also his "simplified" HEX board.

Caught up on game diary.
Wrote about half of the rules for THE BRAIN GAME.
