TUESDAY 28 JUNE 1966 179th day - 186 days to come

Felicia called. She had a letter from Hallmark. No mention of RED LETTER. They mostly said how much they loved a mechanical golf game called CIRCULAR GOLF. Wanted her to come to Kansas City for a party with Alice & the game staff. She's not going. Got the name of the store in Texas that had the Universal Games :- MERGER, etc. :- SAI Sakotwitz's Dept. Store Stationery Dept. Houston, Texas

Asked Felicia to get me N reproductions of MOONHUNT rules. I offered to pay for them, but she said she would.

She rcd. a letter from Professor Ivan L. Preson Penn. State College It contained a newspaper article about his game INTERACTION. It has a board with spaces representing different persons & places. The players get "attitude" cards which tells whether they like or dislike the persons & places. Score by reaching spaces liked. Bets can be placed as which direction a player will take at a crossroad. There is much more, he says, to this. Attitude cards can also be switched at times.

Called Claude to tell him of Paul's wanting to do BIG FUNERAL.

Spoke to Arthur he has a new GAME idea for High Deck. It was originally based on HEARTS but developed differently. All of the "purse" (such as K & V of the arrow, etc.) are the special cards. The cards are dealt out and then played in tricks. The object is to play out all your other cards, leaving only "pures" in your hand. (What if you aren't dealt any "pures"?)

Phil Lawrence called to get the rules for party BABEL.
