MAY 1974 - WEDNESDAY 15
135TH DAY - 230 DAYS TO COME

Sent check for $37.50 to Bob Champer for MACARTHUR
advance - with following note: "R.G.I. came through with an
advance of only $150. I'll try to get the other $50, but it
won't be easy. Of course in the long run it doesn't matter.
Please let me know when this reaches you. Regards."

No check yet from 3M. Called Felicia to tell him her.

Decided that NO WAY was not good enough as is. Made a new layout
with more circles and at least 5 lines to each - using crossovers
to accomplish this. Trying out a third number that can only be
used a set number of times. Seems that three times will
do it - although I only went over about 5 of the 60 possibilities.

Finished coloring in the squares for the German SPECTRUM board.

(cont. from 5/16) [5/20]

space is wild. GIANT TIC TAC TOE - large grid. 2 play with x's and
o's and score for each line of 3 forms, until field is filled.
ODDS & EVENS - p&p with 3x3 and 4x4 fields on the sheet. One
player is "odd" the other "even." 2 play and each in turn puts a 1 or
a 2 in any empty space. When a line is completed the [illegible strikeout] point
depends on the parity. CROSSWORDS - 6x6 grid. Place words in turn,
crossword fashion. One point for each letter in completed word.
(Rough idea.) TRIANGLES and DIAMONDS, two variations of BOXES.
GUESS CHESS - Each player puts writes the pcs. of a CHESS set on
a sheet showing the chessboard. Players in turn guess a space.
If there is a piece there they guess again. Win by guessing
guessing the space with the king. (Mentioned that this could be
improved greatly.) (Pads - $1.00 & $2.00. Wite-offs - $1.50. Wall games -
$6.00.)
- Pacific Games. COLUMBUS WAS WRONG was the only thing I
didn't know (see 11/27/73). The fellow took took my card and said
he'd send me a catalog.
- Gameophiles. Back and spoke to Wibel about which of the games
he'll send me for review:- COLORATION, FLIP & FLOP, FRONT PAGE.
Told him that I already had SYNTACTICS.
- Oblisk. Spoke to Jesse Hurley and took his card. He rcd. my
letter on ZODIAC STAR CHESS and apologized for no answering
it. He will send me a glossy of it. The price is $9.95 plus
$1.00 p&h. Took a sheet with his items (and one for Phil).
New are: EXORCISM - similar to PARCHISI but a "demon" pc.
is also moved and can make captures. Cards are also involved
which allow you to move an opponents pc. if you don't get
caught - and other things. (Rough idea.) GLIFIK - this is
SCRABBLE with the addition of tiles with pictures of
various objects which are used in combination with other
tiles. One shows an "Ox" or it can be taken as a "Steer."
