WEDNESDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 1971
244th day - 121 days to come
Wrote up WOMEN'S LIB, THE LIB GAME, HE-SHE-HIM-HER,
THE WELFARE GAME, SOCIETY TODAY, BODY TALK, TURN-TAC-TOE,
NIMBLE NUMBERS, ROAMIN' NUMERALS, TURN-A-WORD, TRIPLE TILT,
TIC-TAC-THREE, for my S & T column.
Called Eve Auchincloss at BOOK WORLD. She was pleased to
hear from me. They definitely want me to do a column.
She wants it for X'Mas. She Her boss was thinking of
one in October since they will be having an ad for a
GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB then. Since my trip makes an
October column difficult she said it would definitely be
for X'Mas. I'll visit her, probably before leaving, ti discuss
the article.
Played LOTTERY with, BB, and Dave & Barbara Horn. They liked it
very much. It is now an excellent game and the problem
is, who to show it to first so it doesn't get wasted.

letters, or add another, he returns his cards to the
table with no score and takes another given card.
What is permitted as a "word" is very flexible. Digits can
be used as long as they have at least one consonant.
and have a special meaning (such as 1066 AD). Abbreviations
are acceptable and punctuation and other
marks are understood (such as ROTC or EMC2 -
E - MC^2). Two or more words can be put together as long as
they have a special meaning together. In case of argument,
if one other player agrees with the "word" it is
acceptable.
First to get 100 points wins.
Earl's THE AMERICAN WAY (See 7/26). Used only 16 cards in a
4 x 4 pattern. There [Illegible crossed out] is a rule that a player may not
play to any state in two successive moves turns. To
keep this straight I suggested putting two chips on the
last play of each player. This helped.
The first player had a distinct advantage. Claude
suggested that the first player to be compelled to play
along the edge, on just one state. We replayed the game
and it worked much better this way.
I suggested getting rid of the election theme, which is not
commercial, and using less squares, since each even
the 16 we used made a nice game.
Claude's MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. The board was the same as
that I have in my records except for one arrow (which
probably was just a mistake in copying) in the box
labeled FREE ENTERPRISE. 4 play each getting $10,000
and starting his marker in the center space. Movement
