13 FRIDAY - APRIL 1973
103RD DAY - 262 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. the SPACE STIX model back from Hallmark, with a
short letter from Bob Johnson.
Rcd. THE GENERAL (Mar-Apr. '73), TACTICS II is being revived, with
the flaws removed.

Call from Felicia. She asked that the names of our games with
Hallmark so that she could mention them in her stockholder
letter. FITTING & PROPER, THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS and CUBITS.
Call from Bob Gellman. F.A.O. Schwarz is definitely going to put PATTON,
HOLIDAY, and MOVIE MOGULS in their catalog. Problem - they need insides
for pictures of the games and he doesn't have insides. Discussed ways
of faking things (the F.A.O. Schwarz buyer doesn't mind if we fake it).
Date Monday morning with Bob and the artist - we'll figure it out
then - if we can.
I looked thru the box of material from the Xerox exhibit and
found some play money in 100, 500, and 1000 denominations for
HOLIDAY. Also took the board from MOVIE MOGULS to paste over
(Bob said he didn't have spares). Also took a set of rules for SEDUCTION
for use with the name covered over.
Started drawing up a full-sized board for the Sicily version of
PATTON.

Called Arthur and also spoke to Wald who was there on weekend
leave from the hospital. Nothing specifically on games.

Dale and Phil brought me another copy of the article on games from
the 4/8 TIMES.

While looking thru the Xerox exhibit material I came across
the plastic rings from the Urban Systems games. Decided to
use them as cube markers for 3D BOXES.
