24 SATURDAY - MARCH 1973
83RD DAY - 282 DAYS TO COME

Bob Champer here in the afternoon working on PATTON. Played my "Cicily" version and then his "Bulge" version. There was a time limit and reinforcements in his version and I worked out a method of avoiding a "time record." He will work out a board for "France" version by next week. He suggested that I look at S.P.I's BREAKOUT & PURSUIT which covers the same battle. We decided that we would make "Cicily" the big game since the board I did is rather cramped.
Played PATTON with Phil Laurence. Played "Cicily" first and then he asked to play "Bulge."

Went to the bazaar near Edith's. Bought small clasp envelopes and 2 dozen lined pads.

Rcd. [received] a special delivery air mail package from Cadaco with MASTER MIND and a taped on note describing the differences that their edition would have. This was the English edition.

it can be sold on the basis of the author's name. Felicia tried to tell him the facts of life - mentioning me and others - but he'll try elsewhere.
Felicia's dentist is also Jed Gaines'. He keeps telling her that to contact Jed. I told that Jed was no longer with "Gamut of Games." Also that they are not looking for outside games now. I'll definitely let her know when they are. Told her that I was doing consulting work for "Gamut" for both a fee and royalties. That possibly they may do one of my games in the future. Also that I was going there for lunch today.

To "Gamut of Games." Went over the rules of REALM with Djoli - particularly the "Modern" version.
Djoli had a copy of GAMES & PUZZLES #12. Later took it to Simulations and reproduced the cover - with a picture of a game called THE SIGMA FILE, and article on DAFT DRAUGHTS, reviews of ROTASCRIPT, CRACK, BLAST-OFF, MASTER MIND and two books - THE WATNEY BOOK OF PUB GAMES and by BOARD AND TABLE GAMES FROM MANY CIVILIZATIONS (filed in G&P folder.) At Simulations took about 10 sheets of hex graph paper layouts - different types.
To 200 5th Ave. To room 1005, the rep. for Alabe. Asked about their games and was given sheets for MATOCA (which is GO-MOKU without a board), REWORD, WORDSHAKER, and BIG DEALER. These are not in production yet. The one to contact is
