25 TUESDAY - JANUARY 1972
CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL - 341 DAYS TO COME

Finished the rules for FOREIGN INTRIGUE. While BB typed
them I finished the packaging. Used the 3M box, but
not the sleeve, that they had originally used for sending me
the set of FOIL for my comments.
Took the package (in the outside box A.H. used for sending
me a complete review "Bookcase" game) to the post office. Paid
$1.10, plus $.90 for special delivery (so that it will reach on time),
plus $.60 for $200 insurance.

Called Ken Morgan and left word with his roomate that I
couldn't meet him tomorrow.

Traced the new city and route layout for JET HOLIDAY.

(cont. from 1/29) [2/24]

third plane is scored, each of the four sides is scored
in the same way. Then the layout is turned over and
the bottom is scored. (I suggested counting these double.)
He showed me TILT BINGO. The board is a 5 x 5 grid and it is
mounted on a round base so that it can tilt.

[Small diagram of what appears to be a board balanced on a fulcrum.]

The spaces have different colors and there
is a die with matching colored spaces. Each
player has colored pcs. that can stack. Players in turn
throw the die and place one of their pcs. in th a space
of that color. Pieces can be on top of other pcs., except that
if a player gets two of his pcs. one on top of the other
an opponent cannot place on that stack. Object to get five
in a row in any direction. Penalty for "tilting" the board.
(Rough idea.)
He showed me his DON'T SHIFT THE GEARS. Two pcs. of plexiglass
are mounted vertically with space between. A number
of pegs pass thru holes in the two pcs. A series of
gears of different sizes
