 Letter from Steve Wilson. Mentioned <u>THE 6 PACK ---</u>, <u>MONTAGE</u>, <u>CITADEL</u>, <u>NIX</u>. Sent me repro of rules for <u>THE GAME OF 49</u> and in letter described the equipment.
 Red. X'Mas card from <u>Chris Wagner</u>
-Called <u>Phil Orbanes</u> and set date for Thurs. at 10 A.M.

 He told me that <u>Waldimir Von Zedtwitz</u> has lost interest in "Gamut of Games." Partially because <u>Djoli Kansil</u> is out, and also because <u>BRIDGETTE </u>is not the leading game in the line any more. He and Carl are trying to line up other backing.
-Working on the <u>GAME</u> of 11/27, tentative name - <u>INVESTMENT</u>. Layed it out with spaces for recurding prices of the stocks, number of shares, and amount of money available. The alternate throwing of the dice- buy/sell and market value- was difficult to keep track of and also the slow movement of the market was dull. Instead used 6 cards to move the 6 stocks one at a time- choosing up or down. Then the rest of the cards are used for buy/sell. It worked, but wasn't exciting as a game and certainly not pictorially.

 Made a layout for <u>FOUR COLOR</u>. <s>Mad</s> Marked 12 spaces which are filled in with colors 1 to 4 according to the turn of cards. Usually the solution was too easy, but some setups were impossible. Stayed up very late trying to work things out, but no success.

 (Cont. from 12/16) [12/17]
-In talking about <u>KINGMAKER</u>, C. Vasey's offer of rules additions came up. What I thought were references to the game <u>PARLIAMENT</u> were actually references to "parliament" in <u>KINGMAKER</u>. (See 11/11.)
