To "Gamut of Games." The galley of INFINITY wasn't there on time. Phil took me out to lunch. Then we discussed COLLECTOR'S CHOICE with Djoli. Phil will be going to visit him in Hawaii in June (I believe) and I'll have a new version ready for him to bring. Phil and I will get together to discuss the type of collections we will use.
Arranged to come back at 5.

Early for date with Felicia so stopped to see Bob Gellman. Ken Morgan gave him a hard time about Bob giving me an advance on PATTON after Bob told Ken that he doesn't give advances.

Each player has the same number of discs and when all have been placed each scores 2 pts. [points] for a line of 4 and 1 pt. [points] for a line of 3. (Felicia didn't take it.)
- ROLLA DEAL POKER - a plastic playing field is mounted with foam rubber pads under each corner. By pressing on one or more corners a ball bearing can be manipulated from the center with the object of getting it into a chosen hole. There are 52 holes, representing the 52 cards in a deck. There are 7 pegs each of 4 colors (for 7 card variations) which are placed in holes when a player lands the ball in
