Rcd. [received] card from <u>Phil Cohen</u>. Bob Abbot's game <u>ULTIMA</u> was described | |||
in the German fairy Chess magazine, ''<u>FEENSCHACH</u>'', under the | |||
name <u>BAROCK</u>. He asked me to contact Bob. | |||
To S.P.I. with the game lists. Gave them to <u>Jim</u> and Redmund. There | |||
is no room left in #41 so they'll probably be in #42 and #43, ''<u>S & T</u>''. #40 | |||
still isn't out. | |||
To <u>Felicia</u>. She gave me the copies of <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, two of | |||
<u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>, and one of <u>CUBITS</u>.<br> | |||
She had a target game called <u>KUNG FU STARS</u>. The five-armed | |||
pcs. [pieces] have "grab-fab" at their ends. The target is denim | |||
with strips of the matching "grab-fab" sewn on. | |||

said that Barry said he'd like to have a Sid Sackson game in his line.<br> | |||
Felicia said that he'd like to have a <u>GAME</u> using "Lily Cups", which | |||
Owens-Illinois also makes. I said I'd work on it.<br> | |||
She sent <u>PSYCHLOGICAL BLOCKS</u> to 3M.<br> | |||
She'll call Kohner Monday to check on the games - <u>POP-SHAPE_ AND SHATTER</u>, | |||
etc. Told her that I'm still working on <u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u> and that | |||
it is popular.<br> | |||
