WEDNESDAY 28 DECEMBER Holy Innocents 1966 362nd day - 3 days to come

Wrote to Crea Tek (see 12/19) asking about obtaining a copy of SEDUCTION.

Called Bob Abel. He has finished the piece for True Magazine. It's a long one and I'm mentioned at the beginning and again in connection with Claude & BIG FUNERAL [asterisk]. Doesn't know when it will be in. Asked him about Diplomat. It was bought out by Status Mag. but he thinks they'll use the material. Dec. Holiday had an artical on games but he's sure that there is nothing I don't have. I'll try to look at a 2nd hand copy. He'll probably send me some of his clips by mail in a few weeks. In any case, if I don't hear from him by the beginning of February, I'll call him. ( [asterisk] That it has a new "playing principle".)

He mentioned that REAL ACTION BASEBALL is a game which was put out by an individual who spent a lifetime on it. It is played on a quadrille board and the baserunners, fielders, and balls all move. I'll have to get a look at it. He has the golf game to give me eventually, but he may do a piece on sports game and will hold on to it. It He says it is dif- ficult to learn, and possibly I'll go over it with him. The game that was put out by his friend, who is working on Arthur's HIGH DECK, is INFLUENCE. Told him about THE ADVERTISING GAME, which he has heard of, but not seen, and SEDUCTION which he had heard (he couldn't remember where) of before it was published.

Alice called. The inventor of WORD CHESS called to ask about it. Alice asked if I could find a little time to try it out. Said I'd try. Bob Engel wrote saying to hold on to FREE FOR ALL & MAVERICK COUNTRY till after the holidays.
