WEDNESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 1968
332nd day - 34 days to come

Mailed the FACTOR rules to I-S.

Alice called. A gal from an investment firm contacted her
to get the name of some smaller game companies. Their client is
a big company that wants to take over some. They want S&R
but S&R is resisting. Discussed the different companies with
Alice.
Later Alice called to ask me what I knew about AVANTE.

To McGraw Hill Bldg. to see Fred Blakely of BUSINESS WEEK
magazine. He gave me a tear shee tear sheet of the 11/30
issue which mentions me and ACQUIRE. Also gave me a
copy of BUY OR SELL and STOCK MARKET (Futures).
Gave me the rules and a picture of WALSTRETE which will be
published next year, the inventer says (Filed in Misc. Game Folder.)

To Macy's and Gimbels, Saw
STICK AROUND. (Aurora) A set of equipment with "stars"
and tubes of different colors that fit over the projections.

[Small diagram of a circle with 6 appendages sticking out around the perimeter and a dot at the center.]

There is one tube which is mounted on a... abod pedestal at with a star at its top. Players in turn place tubes or stars trying to get rid of 6 tubes, Any one star cannot have more than one tube of the same colon stuck into it Winning by using 6 tuhes and lose by tipping.. the structure over, crough idea. - GO GIN (Ideal) Deck of letter cards with numbers on each Played with 10 in hand, I think. Draw and discard as in RUMMY: Meld must be at least a 4 letter word can only make one meld on a turn but can also lay off at beginning of end of any word already down whether or not you make a meld, can knock with wunt of a on less I think), others can meld one more word and can also sayoff against words... down, Scoring similar to GIN RUMMY: (Fairly complete idea). AGITATION (Crestline) Another PARCHISI imitation on a wood board.

Card came that ANOTHER • was received on 11/25.

Called Fabio in morning and he called me back shortly.
Apologized for not having read my manuscript yet. Will
read it and contact me at home.
