11 WEDNESDAY - APRIL 1973
101ST DAY - 264 TO COME

Call from Vivianne Meyers (see 4/3). She can't make it
today to show me the Mozart GAME. Set date for 4/25
BB typed the PUSHOVER rules and I drew the diagrams.
To Boston Post Road for reproductions.
At John's bought a package of small plastic beads for pos-
sible use in identifying the cubes in 3D BOXES.

Call from Earl Perel. He will be in town next week. Set up a date
for 4/19. He asked about DON'T BLOW A FUSE and I told him
that Al Richter was just starting a new job.
Called Claude and he can make it 4/19
Working a little on 3D BOXES, including sanding the ends
of the tubes.

it in wrong direction.
Win by finishing all your contracts (do all have to be
connected together?). By tying in with a switch it is pos-
sible to make use of anot track another player has placed.
Felicia asked me to check whether Dick Harris of M.B. had seen
CONTRACT. (Did at home and found that he didn't and later told
Felicia. Also told Felicia that there was a slight resemblance
to M.B.'s SQUARE MILE, which is no longer being published.)
Felicia said she is not sending for WAR GAME (see 3/28). Parker
and M.B. told her they wouldn't touch a war game. Though
Garrity had mentioned that he thinks that there might
well be an interest in war games now that the actual war is
over.
When Garrity was here I asked him about OPTILE and
THE MONEY (AMERICAN EXPRESS) MONEY CARD (GAME). He said that
each had sold about 25,000 so far. They figure that they
need sales of 150,000 each to make TV advertising worthwhile,
and 75,000 should be sold by the Stationary Show time.
I asked about review copies and he said he'd tell the
secretary at the showroom to give me copies when they are
ready - in about two weeks.

To Simulations. Made repros of an article on one of Alice's
relatives and her BRIDGE prowess for Felicia.
From Phil F. got a mailing carton for three games and dupli-
cate copies of the following:- PHALANX, DARK AGES, 1812,
LA GRANDE ARMEE. Also copies of MOVES #1 thru #6.

To AIN Plastics and bought some more tubes, etc. to have
spares. Also bought a glue dispenser. For [illegible strikeout] 3D BOXES.

Rcd. a letter from Henryk Szwarce, the inventor of IMAGE.
