21 Wednesday - November 1973
Presentation of B. V. Mary - 325th day - 40 days to come

Call from Fabio Coen. He'd like to discuss a new project with me. Date for lunch - 12:30 on 11/27.
Brought up the subject of no mention of the Castle Book royalties on my last AGOG statement. Faye called me later and I told her that I had sent the last two statements to Fabio some time ago.

Called Phil Orbanes and he called me back later. Went over the list of p&p games I prepared on 11/19.
WILDCAT - told him I had reduced it. Write the rules.
INVESTIGATION - write the rules.
THE GREAT RACES - Phil wrote the rules himself.
RALLY (LAPS) - Write the rules.
EMPIRE (LANDGRAB) - Write the rules. He has a hex layout 4x7. Include rule for "free move."
SPACE STATIONS - Phil has the rule of my original game (4x4x4). He wants me to come up with a new name for the new version and write the rules.
SUPERGHOSTS - Write the rules.
COMBINATIONS - No! Realized that I don't have rules for this. 4 spaces in top left corner are filled in with numbers using a die. First player throws two dice. Writes in as many sums of two numbers previously written as he can. Can write in the digit of either die or the last digit of the total. After all digits have been entered each is circled and one point is counted for each circle. The next player then turns one die to the next higher number. From a 6 a player can go to either a 1 or a 2 (so that the parity can be changed).
