Card from <u>S.K. Howard</u>. He came across an old copy of a
game <u>BEAT THE MARKET</u> and wondered if it was the one we
have been talking about. No, it is by Clever Games, not
by Kribs.
<br>Rcd. a letter that had been sent to Pantheon. It was to
<u>ALTAIR DESIGN</u>, not to me.
<br>Rcd. a letter from <u>Steve Wilson</u>. Thanks me for <u>THE 6 PACK ---</u>;
has played <u>FINANCIER</u>, <u>PAY  OFF</u>, and <u>OIL STRIKE</u>; asks about
<u>SPY</u>; won't play <u>THE GREAT RACES</u> since they prefer <u>SOLITAIRE DICE</u>.
He has joined <u>NOST</u> and lost two games of <u>LAP</u> to <u>Phil Cohen</u>. Also
mentions <u>KNIGHT CHASE</u>, <u>Martin Gardner</u>, and <u>AGOG</u>.
Mentions picking up out of print games in small towns: <u>PSYCHE-PATH</u>
(with a reference to this and <u>VECTOR</u> being in the Cuisenair Catalog),
<u>BOUNDARY</u>, <u>LINK-UP</u>, and <u>CITADEL</u> (which he offered to send me).
Asks about my creativity, mentioning <u>S&T</u>, <u>THE 6 PACK---</u>, <u>REALM</u>,
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, <u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>, <u>SLEUTH</u>, <u>MONAD</u>, <u>VENTURE</u>,
<u>BEYOND TIC TAC TOE</u>.
His new efforts are <u>DOUBLE JUMP</u> - using two <u>SOLITAIRE</u> boards
and an unnamed <u>GAME</u> using the <u>RELATE</u> equipment,
<br>Call from <u>Earl</u> and I invited him here for supper. Nothing on games ex-
cept that Parker returned <u>DON'T BLOW A FUSE</u> after keeping it about
6 months. Schaper wrote that they weren't interested. And he keeps
calling <u>Jules Cooper</u> but he never calls back.
<br>Wrote to <u>Marek Penszko</u>. Mentioned <u>PROBLEMY</u>, <u>Lech Pijanowski</u>,
<u>FOOTBALL</u>, <u>Martin Gardner</u>; <u>MINI-KRZYZOWKA</u>, <u>WIROWKA</u>, <u>KRATKOWNICA</u>,
<u>HARCABY</u>, <u>MURY</u>, <u>NAKRYWANKA</u>; <u>AGOG</u>.
