25 SUNDAY - MARCH 1973
ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD - THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT - 84TH DAY - 281 DAYS TO COME

Gave the repros of Regata, etc. (See 3/23) to my father to
translate.

Bought a plastic construction set in a Japanese store near
the city center - $1.00. For game equipment.

ences concerning the future of the game program. Felicia said
that in a previous talk with Bill Caruson he had said that Keith
was in charge of the game program. He, Bill, is busy with a lot
of other projects.

Called Bob Gellman to see if he minded using "Sicily" as the feature
PATTON game. O.K. with him.
I asked him when the components for HOLIDAY would be finished.
He said he is concentrating on the spall sports games and won't
have HOLIDAY ready until June when he will start shipping.

Bob Champer called. Discussed that he had done on the "France" version of

BB, at a bazaar, bought five packages of gadgets for marking individual

Djoli called and read the rules of REALM "Modern Version," and I gave my
corrections. I'll go there Wednesday to go over the final rules. Also
to play some INFINITY.

Motorized pcs. on top of a stack allow that stack to move from one star
space to another - no jumping of stacks passed. Jumping is compuls-
ory when in position to jump. (Didn't see the board and skimmed the
rules. This is only a rough idea.)

While I was there Felicia rcd. a call from an editor of a book publisher
(he heard of h er thru Norman Monath, the inventor of BALI). One of
his writers, who did a popular book on how to get rich, has come
up with a GAME that is a variation of MONOPOLY. He thinks that
