Thiught that I had lost the FOCUS copyright on the way to getting into
the safe deposit box, but I found it at home. It must have been
the SLAM copyright that I put back.

Decided to eliminate the die in EXECUTIVR DECISION. For the beginner's game start with the marked position. For advanced players include the
following variation. Each player for each of the 6 factors places on his slate a
number from +2 to -2, including 0. The algebraic sum of the
numbers gives the movement of each factor.

Rcd. another copy of FEUDAL & BLUE LINE HOCKEY, this time sent by Bill Caruson.

The TOYS & NOVELTIES directory came. Noticed that all the new 3M
games are listed.

Claude over in the evening. Discussed games in general but nothing much
in particular. He said that Oggi was definately interested in doing
his "love puzzle". (The one where 4 pcs - [small diagram of a rectangular prism] - like this one put together to form a cube with matching pictures of all faces.) The
problem is manufacturing. They are thinking of making a luxury item by hand.
Played a couple of games of TEMPO and and Claude liked it. He beat me
two and I beat him two.

his release from Gamesciece for the game. However, it
looks like they'll probably take it.
