Thought of an idea for a simple equipment game, tentative
name - <u>ARROWS</u>. 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.)
<br>Another idea I had about a week ago is for a <u>PUZZLE</u> that
is a <u>HABITAT</u> 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.
[drawing of a 3 dimensional square with slots drawn on each side.]
<u>Bob Gellman</u> called. We agreed on about 18 dice plus some die-
cut cardboard for <u>PATTON</u>. 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 <u>Haar Hoolim</u>. Mentioned <u>UP</u>, <u>THE COMPASS GAME</u>,
<u>TAKE BALL TAKE ALL</u>, <u>BITS</u>, <u>HEX</u>, <u>SIM</u>, <u>7UP</u>. Sent copies of
a letter from and to Or-Da. Also his "simplified" <u>HEX</u> board.
Caught up on game diary.
<br>Wrote about half of the rules for <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>.
