SUNDAY 16 NOVEMBER Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity 1969 320th day - 45 days to come

Times had an ad for game ZODIAC ($4.95 plus 75¢ hand- ling). Played COUNTERPOINT with BB. Discovered that [zigzag shape] and [open bracket shape] could not be used since each could be reformed by moving one pc. With BB's help came up with the following five four configurations: - [|, Z, + and X shapes]. We played to 75 points. The last points went very slowly. it will probably be better to set 60 points as a game.

Wrote a letter to Phil Cohen. BB will type it tomorrow.

My father called. Richard Ferber saw my book and wants to buy a copy. Dad wants to get it wholesale from me to give as a gift to Richard.

Spoke to Claude on phone. Read him what Phil Cohen said about LOA.


(cont. from 11/17) [12/5]

He'll be at Renwal next week but doesn't think he'll have time to contact me. We'll get together at the Toy Fair.

Called Stan Harris. They are doing the House of Games games. My reccommendation, he said, had some weight. But they are still continuing with their own Renwal-Gamescience line. My two, TAM-BIT and TAKE FIVE will be in the latter. They are almost complete, as are the other 4 games in the line and they are producing 5000 of each as a start. He'll get some to me in January. He is afraid that my model for AIRLINE was thrown out in a cleanup while he was away. However it is al- most sure that they will be doing the game, either at $5 or at $8. He will contact me next week to let me know if he can find the model. I checked after speaking to him & I have all the information on the game at home.
