11/3 2 SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 1974 ALL SOULS DAY - 306TH DAY - 59 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. a royalty report from Hallmark for FITTING & PROPER and THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS for $0 for the 3rd quarter.

Rcd. a letter, thru Random House, from an AGOG reader. He is a GAME inventor and would like to know what to do with his games. Also about NYGA/

At a bazaar in Flushing bought 12 boxes of 250 self-stick filing folder labels, in 4 colors, for #3.25.

Adela & Al Richter over. Al brought his completed model of DON'T BLOW A FUSE and the four of us played. the plugs are color coded to the various rooms in the house (but they are all the same electronically) with a contact going diagonally across. Each player tells [drawing of contact] the next player which room to place an appliance. He can place it in any hole in that room. When a player rings the buzzer, play stops. (We gave an F, then a U, until the first to get FUSE lost.)

Al set up the circuit so that pairs of two set up the completed circuit, if they are both turned the correct way. Two of the pairs are set up so that either will complete, no matter how they are turned.

We played TOTALLY and they liked it.

Al & Adela I played INTERSECTION using the part face down variation. It wasn't bad. Before (I believe) we played the standard version.

Later thought about ideas for "bulking" INTERSECTION. Duplicate would take out all the luck. A "score board" and 5 markers in red and 5 black is all that is req'd, but that would add some bulk.
