Miriam liked it a lot. <br> | |||
Played 4-hand <u>SPACE - STIX</u>, Miriam and me against BB and Jerry. <br> | |||
Jerry had his stix arranged with all the odds on one end <br> | |||
and the evens on the other. This was an advantage, but they still <br> | |||
lost. (Jerry liked it a lot.) <br> | |||
To avoid this situation thought of the idea of dividing <br> | |||
the stix into odd and even piles and having players start <br> | |||
with an alternating odd-even or, for variety, an odd-odd-even-even. | |||

She wondered if I could get him to move and I said I'd <br> | |||
try. | |||
Rcd. a call from <u>Earl Jay Perel</u> (see 6/22). His friend is in <br> | |||
turn friendly with someone in F.A.O Schwartz, who thinks <br> | |||
he can act as an agent for Earl's games - for 10%. His <br> | |||
friend is also interested in my book (<u>AGOG</u> and is buying <br> | |||
a copy. Earl thinks he may call me. His name is <u>Joseph Beinhorn</u> <br> | |||
<u>TRAFFIC SHADES</u> was returned by 3M. <br> | |||
His <u>GAME</u> with Parker was also returned. I asked him <br> | |||
whether in this game the score for completing a square <br> | |||
was based on the size of the square. Yes, plus a value <br> | |||
on the markers. The higher the scoring value of the marker, <br> | |||
the less freedom of placement it has. <br> | |||
He asked me about the card games that Parker has. Also what <br> | |||
do I know about <u>Bill Dohrmann</u>. He is thinking about submitting <br> | |||
<u>TRAFFIC SHADES</u> to Parker, but he sent some suggestions <br> | |||
for improvement in <u>MASTERPIECE</u> to Dohrmann and will wait to <br> | |||
see how Dohrmann reacts to these. <br> | |||
He wrote to A.H. asking whether they are interested in a presidential <br> | |||
election game. They are. His <u>GAME</u> is basically abstract, <br> | |||
rather than a simulation. In some kind of a <br> | |||
take-off on <u>GO</u> players try to surround states. Get the <br> | |||
electoral votes when surround a state. <br> | |||
Told him that I'd contact him about the middle of July to <br> | |||
arrange his coming here. | |||
