Rcd. [received] a <s>German G</s> game from Germany by <u>Lech Pijanowski</u> - | |||
<u>DUODOMINO</u>. "Dahl's Taschen-Spielreinen" also include | |||
<u>KANGODIL & LOKMUMCHEN</u>, <u>FLOH-MARKT</u>, <u>CING PING</u>, <u>TANGRAM</u>, | |||
<u>QUADROMINO</u>. No address on game but envelope had the | |||

At Macy's saw <u>RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>, <u>FITTING AND PROPER</u>, <u>CUBITS</u>, | |||
<u>PENTOMINOS</u>, <u<MOEBIES</u>, and <u>SWEEP</u> in stationery dept. [department] <br> | |||
In adult game dept. [department] saw <u>QUATIONS</u>- {Pilot Games Co.<br> | |||

It is played on a 21 by 21 (I believe) field. Spaces are marked | |||
with "double tile", "triple tile", and "double equation" similar to | |||
<u>SCRABBLE</u> but the density is greater. Players play with 7 number tiles | |||
and six "+ - x ÷ =" tiles. Make equations crossword style. Tiles | |||
score their value; symbols score + -1, - - 2, x - 3, ÷ - 4, = 1. (Fairly | |||
complete idea.)<br> | |||
Also saw <u>NUMERO FUN</u> and <u>ASTRO-FUN</u> by {Yal Enterprises<br> | |||
{P.O Box 48<br> | |||

Couldn't see much of them but they | |||
seem to be race games teaching | |||

To Simulations. Gave Redmund the column. 6 pages of typewritten | |||
material roughly fills one page in ''<u>S & T</u>'' so it will go in three | |||
pages. If Redmund has to do any cutting he will contact me | |||
and we'll get together on it.<br> | |||
I told <u>Jim D.</u> that I'd have the list of games for him<br> | |||
