11 MONDAY - MARCH 1974
70TH DAY - 295 DAYS TO COME

Downtown to ESQUIRE Magazine for date with Barbara Heine. Gave her a quick rundown on the games and puzzles she had there. Among others were TRIPPPLES, THE L GAME (see 1967), IMPASSE, TAU, CLUSTER, 3M's GO, CAMBALUC CHINESE CHESS, the Springbok puzzle-games, a number of imported wood Piet Hein items including MORRA-BOARD and POLYTAIRE - in a hex pattern (see 1969). Also some 3M puzzles. I set up FITTING & PROPER with the pcs. [pieces] and pegs on transparent plastic - not on the purple board - and she said she thought she could get the art editor to use it.
Barbara had both of the new TRIPPPLES sets. She ran off repros [reproductions] of the instructions for the cheaper set for me and gave me the set booklet from the deluxe set. She ra (Filed in box with the game.) She also ran off the info on CAMBALUC CHINESE CHESS for me. (Filed in '74 Misc. [1974 miscellaneous] folder.)
She said she wants to do two pages on original games. Tim Holland (I believe) gave her a method of playing BACKGAMMON without dice. Someone else gave her a physical game. She may use Bob Abbott's new ELEUSIS if he gets it into shape in time. She doesn't want to use PATTERNS II PATTERNS II since it was already published. I told her that I would get something to her. (Later decided on WIRETAP - see '73. [1973])
She asked to buy the copy of AGOG I brought with me. I said that I would give it to her but she said that the magazine, not she, would pay. Took $7.

Rcd. [received] a letter from Keith Tuggle asking for another chance to consider SKYSCRAPERS if it hasn't already been placed.

Barbara Heine had two copies of the game SYNTACTICS and gave one to me.
