Dave Goodzeit from the law firm on our floor called up <br> | |||
Lowe to find out who I could talk to about <br> | |||
information for the book. He was told the following man: - <br> | |||
{Lowe <br> | |||
{Larry Hansburg <br> | |||
{729-4000 <br> | |||
Later I called him. He said to go to 5th Ave. for their <br> | |||
current catalog but that he couldn't tell me anything <br> | |||
about next year. | |||
Made another batch of repros of the book diagrams. | |||
Felicia called. She had forgotten the name of the game Bryce <br> | |||
Russel showed us: <u>ASTRO-BLITZ</u>. <br> | |||
Arnold Shapiro, on the way to toy fair in Germany, called <br> | |||
her. He is sure X will go ahead with the games eventually, <br> | |||
but he can't say when. | |||
The catalog from Shackman came. Not much on games. | |||
Called up Martin Gardner to tell him more about <u>DUEL CHESS</u> and <br> | |||
tell him he could use it if he wants to. He said he <br> | |||
probably would, either in the April edition as part of the <br> | |||
puzzles or in May with the answers. <br> | |||
After this I looked in <u>NOUVEAUX JEUX D'ECHECS NON ORTHODOXES</u> <br> | |||
and found <u>LES ECHECS A L'UNIQUE ECHEC</u> which was the <br> | |||
same as the game he isusing in his column. He appreciated <br> | |||
my telling him of it. | |||
On ''Johnny Carson'' program they had a game called <br> | |||
<u>FUNNY BONES</u>. There is a set of large cards, each one of <br> | |||
which has a statement, such as "The hand bone is <br> | |||
connected to the hip bone", "The head bone is connected to the <br> | |||
elbow bone", "The ankle bone is connected to the ankle <br> | |||
bone", etc. A mixed couple plays and as each card is <br> | |||
drawn (by another player) they attempt to hold the <br> | |||
card in place betweenthe two specified places. (The card <br> | |||
is placed there by another player.) Score, I guess, by <br> | |||
how many cards can be kept in place. | |||
