SATURDAY 6 NOVEMBER 1971
310th day - 55 days to come

To Laurence's with a number of games to test.
Four of us played NEW TOWN. It was rather slow moving
and we played it long enough to get the flavor.
Phil and I played BRIDGETTE and it was quite good.
Gave Phil the set since he liked it so much and I have
an extra.
Phil and I played THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKI GAME. It was
pleasant, but more like a solitaire game.

Rcd. another SLEUTH puzzle answer. Incorrect.
Rcd. a letter from Colin Haycraft of Gerald Duckworth.
He wrote to Random House about AGOG on 9/14 but
hasn't rcd. an answer.
I looked at my contract. If Random House doesn't
get an English publisher by 18 months (which has passed)
they lose those rights.
Rcd. a letter from Pierre Berloquin. He sent me copy of game
revues from latest LE REVUE DU JOUET, including POKY,
L'UNIVERSEL, ELECTRONIC, LE PENTAMINO, and MIRO-JONGG.
He requested info on: NINETYSEVEN, HAVOC, RICOCHET,
BLACK EXPERIENCE, PLAY ON WORDS, DIPLOMACY, CAVEAT EMPTOR,
DECA-LOGIC, PERCEPTION, SPACEVENTURE, STAY ALIVE.

(cont. from 12/15) [12/15]

about the 3M game request, but not my other friends
who don't work for her. Fine.

Mailed a copy of AGOG to Colin Haycraft at Gerald Duckworth.
Postage $2.90 by air. Had to cut a slot in the jiffy
bag so that they could see that it was a book.

Rcd. a call from D.J. Kerley, inventor of BEZANT (see 6/23/67).
He wants to look at the rules I have for his revised
game. Told him I'd bring them to Felicia's next Monday.
(He works in the same building.)

Made list of the letters i have to write and other work
outstanding.
