23 Thursday - August 1973
235th day - 130 days to come
Rcd. [received] THE GAMESLETTER #62. Has flyer for G&P. Mentions
some books on Simulations: - THE BOMB AND THE COMPUTER;
THE CRISIS GAME; VENTURE SIMULATION IN WAR, BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
Phil Cohen discusses GAMES FOR THE SUPERINTELLIGENT. Mention
of book MAZES & LABYRINTHS: THEIR HISTORY & DEVELOPMENT.
THE SPARTAN (Mag. [magazine]) has a game OMAHA BEACH, and a variant
A PANZERBLITZ SUPPLEMENT.
Called Eve Auchincloss and asked if she'd want an X'mas [Christmas]
game article for the WASHINGTON POST. She'll check with
Washington & call me back tomorrow.
Call from Felicia. She finally contacted Stan Harfenist and he'll
give us an answer on 3D BOXES Monday. Felicia said that
this is the most commercial thing I've ever done.
I told her about Parker of England's ESCAPE FROM COLDITZ. She
wondered if she should tell American Greetings in connection with
Andy Luftig's ESCAPE. I couldn't see why she should.
Burt Huber wants more puzzle - games which meet his specifications
(see 5/23).
She wants me to take away a lot of the things that have been
everywhere - "I can use the parts for other games." She wants
to set up a shelf of just my things. LOTTERY she definitely
wants to keep.
SPECTRUM came back very well packaged and the best postal service.
Herb Roth has gotten some kind of a screwing, similar to
the one she got with SCRABBLE.
Started working on a puzzle-game - later called THE 31ST HEX -
and made a rough layout.
BB started typing the letter I wrote to Gini Scott yesterday
but objected to some parts. I'll fix it tomorrow.
Rcd. two cartons containing 6 each of REALM, MONTAGE,
INFINITY and CARTEL.
Told Claude about Burt Huber wanting more puzzle - games
and the specifications for them.
Told Claude I wouldn't tell Earl about this since he
won't work thru Felicia and this is information from her.
