the player tried to take the hat off with the hook the magnet's cause the figurine to rock on its pivot.
- Stancraft. Spoke to Norton Cross for just a moment, since he was busy. He told me he expects sales of my games- TRANSFORMATION, etc. to pick up.
- The Strauss'. They had MOVIE MOGULS, HOLIDAY and PATTON displayed. Bob Gellman told me to look there.
- Reiss Associates. Told Bill Knox that if he sent me a copy of IDIOT STICK I'd give it to Martin Gardner and possibly he'd mention it in his column. Bill asked how many he should send me and I said just the one. Also promised to send me... illegible
Bob Reiss said that he wanted to have me and Phil Orbanes in to discuss doing premium games for them, things that could be made for under 25¢, but in very large quantities. I said I'd be glad to, but that Phil had told me that he figured on doing the premiums for "Gamut of Games" since once the games are in production. I told him to check it out with Phil.
I also asked Bill Knox for a copy of TOURNABOUT. It won't be ready for some time but he said he'll send it when it is.
- Four Generations. Said goodbye to Phil Shoptaugh. He has To Felicia. Not in. a solitaire version of TAU that he calls TAULITAIRE. It will be added to the rules. Only the ends of three colors are used and are started as shown to the left.

By jumping over one pc. or a continuous row of pcs. [pieces], diagonal jumps being allowed, the object is to reach the position to the right in the least amount of moves. (Red & blue can be reversed, as long as yellow is in the middle.)

To Felicia's but not in. Left my packages with Herb Roth while I ate. Still not in when Bob Johnson came. We went down for coffee but Felicia still not there. Called answering service but no info. Bob and I went to S&T office and used a play-testing room.
Showed HONORABLE RELATIONS to Bob. He solved one of the easier ones with a little help from me, Started another one and wished that he could take it to work on the plane. I told him that I would send him a rough set, and would work on a set of the correct size to send to Burt Huber. It's his province now.

We went over each of the games that they have under contact. Didn't
