7 FRIDAY- DECEMBER 1973 341ST DAY- 24 DAYS TO COME

Finally found the I CHING in one of the 12 Bekin's Boxes in the game room. (very relieved.) As a possible action GAME for Hallmark, thinking of having the idea of the three magnets being pushed in a race. Latest idea. Have a separate raised path for each player and all race at the same time. If go over an edge must go back to a specific line- of several along the way. In Haar Hoolim's last letter he mentioned Lewis Carroll's card game COURT CIRCULAR. Looked for it in DIVERSIONS & DIGRESSIONS but it wasn't there. Found it in THE WORKS OF LEWIS CARROLL, which I'll add to the collection. In connection with Bill Tyler's mention of THREE PLAYER CHESS I looked at Brentano's catalog again. Found a section I missed on "Chess" which, [illegible strikeout] among others, showed CHESS DICE and THREE PLAYER CHESS. Another section- "Divination" - showed, among others, NUMEROLOGY, GALAXY GAZER, JAMES BOND 007 TAROT GAME, ESP, and I CHING. Painted the book shelf shelves in the upstairs game room.

(cont. from 12/8) [12/19] mailed it to me, but then located it. He'll hold on to it. Someone sent him a program for solving a lot of TANGRAMS problems that had never been solved before-- such as that there are only 18 possible 5 sided fig- ures that can be made with a set, and also what they are. Call from Alan Newman. He was wondering if he had to use Felicia where he already had a contact prior to meeting Felicia. For instance he had a very good relationship with D.D.I. They almost took a game of his -SUPER STAR THE SUPERSTAR GAME- but finally after months said no.
