31 Tuesday - July 1973
 212 day - 153 days to come
----
Rcd. [received] another letter from Kees Vanes (see 7/21 and 7/23) with
another children's puzzle - BIRD, FISH AND FLOWERS.
 Rcd. THE GAMESLETTER #59. Mentions DESERT FOX, APBA INNINGS
(Magazine), LIFELINE (Magazine), SIMULATION GAMING NEWS, 
[illegible crossed out] DUNKIRK, ALBION, THE GENERAL, 
BELLICUS 10 (Mag.), BLACK HOLE DIPLOMACY, HOOSIER ARCHIVES (Mag.).
 Rcd. TOYS (July). Has ad for JAMES BOND 007 TAROT GAME, 
THE WATERGATE SCANDAL GAME in "New."

Thought of a NIM type game for the p&p series. Phil's
name - END OF THE LINE is a perfect name. Layed out a
 sheet with three fields of different sizes.

Remembered a GAME I had been fooling with a week or
so ago. 4 dice are thrown and the object is to write the
4 numbers in any position and with any operational
or other symbols between. Object to get results 1, 2, 3, 
etc. Note: dice can be placed next to each other to
form a number, such as [drawing of two dice showing 2 and 1] for 21, but a single die
can't be put to represent a tens position, such as [drawing of a die showing 2 with a blank space next to it].
It can also be played with more than 4 dice.

Playing around with the PUZZLE idea I had yesterday. Made two
layouts, both of which don't have any duplicate pcs. [pieces]

[drawing of two 5 by 5 grids with some of the squares of each blank and some with Xs in the square]

The X's represent projections on one 
level and the blanks are projections on
the other level.
 I limited the pieces to 10 because
of the talk with Phil Orbanes (noted 
later.)
 Thinking of other ways to present SPACE STATIONS, or rather
the 3-high game Phil requested. Philes as shown should do it, [drawing of a circle with a square inside, with a triangle inside of the square] especially if a red and blue pencil are
provided. Decided to make the field 3x4x3 high
