9 SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 1974 40TH DAY - 325 DAYS TO COME

Decided to do the following 3 games for my next S&T column and looked over them: OUTDOOR SURVIVAL (played some solitaire), BUSINESS STRATEGY, and ALIEN SPACE.

Called Bob Champer and called off date on 2/13 to work on MACARTHUR, will set another after Toy Fair. Call from Bob Gellman. I'll bring in MACARTHURboards on 2/11 and he'll have Rick, the artist there.

At the Laurences played OUTDOOR SURVIVAL with Phil and Eliott. Not great. played 5-hand THE BRAIN GAME, including Eliott. The "Forced Trade" cards didn't work out. The "pick and choose" with a 6 on red die did. Annette and Phil couldn't agree on a trade at end, I'll have to go back to some kind of forced buy. Told Dave that I'd give them a copy of HOLIDAY.

(cont. from 2/10) [2/11] meeting me at the INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW last June. (I told him about the check bouncing.) Bob Gellman told me (and Felicia too when I called to tell her about Kohner) that a fellow at Craft Master was an ACQUIRE fan and wanted to meet me. Went there and signed 5 sheets for him to send to people who he had turned on to the game. His name - George M. Marlowe. Also took a card from Robert J. Rand of Craft Master - and said hello to Bob Engel. Then back to pick up the MACARTHUR boards.
