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 MACARTHUR boards 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.

Met Marvin Kaye at Press Room. He has separated from his wife.

Played 500 RUMMY with my folks.
Called Phil Orbanes to check about the p&p games. He'll get on
an answer from Mannie in time for me to talk to Keith Tuggle next
week. He is not sure but he thinks we will each get $2,850 for
the first bath batch - WORDPLAY, etc.
He asked me to pick up game catalogs for him.
Claude called to check on the acceptance of ECLIPSE.
[Started 2/11]

(started cont. from 2/16) [2/25]
Owens-Illinois, who wanted a subscription to S&T. Gave
the information to Kit, who wrote out an invoice.
At my father's played 500 RUMMY.

Jim Dunnigan said that A.H.'s [Avalon Hill] 1776 is horribly long.
