Rcd. [received] another notice on ''<u>PLAYTHINGS</u>'' subscription. (See 9/25).
(Discarded.)
 
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. In her covering letter to <u>Stubbman</u> she said
that she would get <u>OVER 'N OVER</u>, <u>ECLIPSE</u>, and
<u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u> to him in about 2 weeks.
 
<u>Claude</u> called about <u>ECLIPSE</u>. When I told him that I had
his model he came over for supper and to check thru
his notes for the solution. While he was doing this I
recorded two solutions for <u>OVER 'N OVER</u>, one with the
board layout and another with all one color.<br>
While <u>Claude</u> and I were walking Daisy Anne called to get some
info that <u>Earl</u> called her about. By mistake Claude called <u>Earl</u>
instead of Anne. I spoke to Earl after Claude. He asked if
I had heard from Peter about the <u>GAME</u> to be played on
10/14. I hadn't and Earl said he'd have Peter call me.
<u>Issy</u> will be there and Betty if she can make it.<br>
Peter called me and explained a little about the game. Some
friends of his have a company for developing learning games. This
game is played on 3 boards (not with a computer). The
first is quadrille and has 5 power bases. Each of these has a
president and a historian. They expand according to strategic
rules but must do so in accordance with a card given to them
directing that they be tricky or ruthless, etc. A number of
judges determine how well they conform. The second board, which
is used later, is also quadrille, but is more abstract.
The third board is undifferentiated.<br>
They will be playing it again so if I can't make it on
10/14 they will invite me to a later playing. Told Peter I'd
call him Tuesday to let him know if I'll be there.<br>
