Call from <u>Claude</u> about which kids are coming tomorrow:<br> | |||
Mary Ellen, Raymond, Richie, and Mant__, Claude said that<br> | |||
they would appreciate another copy of <u>ACQUIRE</u>, Theirs is<br> | |||
worn out from playing.<br> | |||
Adela and <u>Al Richter</u> mentioned that Brian and his<br> | |||
friend liked <u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u> so much that<br> | |||
Adela wanted to buy him a copy. Then finally located a<br> | |||
store that had some of the Springbok games, but not<br> | |||
<u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>, They bought two copies of<br> | |||
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, one for each boy, and then discovered<br> | |||
that I had invented it.<br> | |||
Gave Al <u>S&T</u> #47,<br> | |||
Played quite a few games of <u>SPRINGER</u> with Al. Discovered<br> | |||

will include a variation for advanced players where they divide<br> | |||
two, or more, of the spaces before starting play. Also thinking of<br> | |||
having players actually fill in the 🔺's [triangles] with their color.<br> | |||
