NOVEMBER 1974 - WEDNESDAY 27
331ST DAY - 34 DAYS TO COME

Made a jackpot board and 48 square black markers for JACK POTS 6.

Played with BB and Dale using the ideas of 11/23, except that I went back to giving an extra move turn for doubles rather than sequences. Played well and [illegible strikeout] Dale liked it.

In evening call from Felicia. She bought a copy of COSMOPOLITAN. She hated what he said about me, but liked what he said about ACQUIRE.

She agrees with the article in that action games are the coming thing. She said I should come up with some.

George Bredehorn called her, telling her that Stan Chess was busy with a lot of other things. Also he sounded like he barely knew me. He told her he had a lot of action games. I told her that I had seen some of them briefly, but not all of them. I believe they have a date for next week.

Deposited the £150-20 check from Graeme Levin in dollar. It will not be credited until collected - a change from last May.

that I had before. A player always has to pay at least one chip. If both pots are taken, the player can choose any live pot to put a chip in. With a seven, the player throwing it chooses the pot.

Played Claude's RAZZLE DAZZLE. He shortened it somewhat by having less cards. Also he allowed looking at the cards that were played. How- ever it was completely unbalanced again. I made so much money at the start that there was no game.

The three of us had no pep, and I have a feeling that it was the last "NYGA" meeting.
