OCTOBER 1974 - SATURDAY 12
285TH DAY - 80 DAYS TO COME
----
Rcd. the FREAKIES box from Phil Orbanes. he'd like the game
by Friday of the coming week. The ice cream company may be
interested in something instead of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.

Rcd. a letter from Carol Peterson. She doesn't know what happened
to FOREIGN INTRIGUE, and would like me to send her another model.

Rcd. an envelope from Bob Gellman with a clipping on the upcoming
"MacArthur" movie. Also the flyer on MACARTHUR for the "MacArthur
Memorial Foundation."

Played FUN CITY with the Horn's. They both liked it and want
to play again. I'll have to clear up a few things in the
rules - such as with a throw of two of more "Deal" faces
a player takes a face down card, not a face up one that he
might want. A face always is the first thing taken care
<s>off</s> of.
----
(cont. from 10/15) [10/15]

During day rcd. the promised new set of BIGWIG. Also 
enclosed was a repro of a newspaper article about
THE NUMBERS RACKET GAME.

In evening rcd. call from Ralph Anspach. Actually he called earlier
and spoke to BB awhile. He asked about a game called INFLATION
and BB said she thought I had it. I checked and found that I 
had the rules from the Parker archives. He asked me to 
send him a copy and I agreed. He has info that the company
putting this out had won a lawsuit against Parker.

I told him about the game MO-NOP I had found at the 
Parker Archives.

I asked if he had contacted Williard Allphin; yes.

He mentioned that Gini Scott had <s>mentioned me to him</s> told
him that I was an authority on game history. I told him
that I was primarily interested in what makes a game play.

He said that he will send me a copy of ANTI-MONOPOLY.
----
Call from Claude. Again he asked about getting together
with Pierre.

Wald would like to have a NYGA meeting. He has come up
with a new "rip-off" GAME. (Later he suggested to
Claude that each submit their games to HASBRO without
splitting. Claude said he doesn't want to change rules in the
middle.)

Ralph Anspach gave me his address:
