4 WEDNESDAY-JULY 1973
INDEPENDENCE DAY-185TH DAY-180 DAYS TO COME

Played 3D BOXES with BB. She went first both
times, but I beet her soundly both times.
Caught up with game diary-since before the trip-
not all today, though.
Though of three p&p GAME ideas.
1) Tentative name, POWER NETWORK. 5x5 board is filled in as
shown with lines. Players in turn choose a square and ask
[drawing of 5x5 board]
how many lines are in that square. Ob-
ject is to be first to determine exact
layout of opponent's setup.
2) On a 4x4 board each player fills in the
numbers from 1 to 16. Players in turn ask
for the sum of two boxes next to each
other, including diagonally. Object to
be first to determine exact layout of op-
ponent's setup.
Another possibility, use numbers 1 to 8
twice. Can get sum of four squares
meeting at a corner or of any row on
column.
3) Tentative name LAP5. A "racetrack" is layed out with numbers
in the spaces from 1 to 17 (18 not being used). A player
throws 3 dice and moves to adjacent spaces corresponding
to 1, 2, or 3 dice.

(cont, from 7/5) [7/5]
Call from Wald. He wanted info on how to go about pub-
licizing a "Toy Computer" idea that someone he knows
has published. I asked, and there is no further word
on BALANCE OF POWER.
Call from Claude. On his recent trip to Philadelphia he bought
$6.00 worth of small plastic pieces in different colors at
about 2₵ each. I can have half of them.
Gave a copy of AGOG to Susan Horn, in appreciation for
her SPECTRUM idea.
Played 3D BOXES with Dave Horn and it was a very tight
game. He said he prefers my original rules.
Tried to call Tom Atwater at about 11:30 p.m. to ask
about HIT THE JACKPOT. No answer after 8 rings.
