cardboard dolls, but suggesting that they could be eliminated.  <br>
For a gambling game the idea of safes which I  <br>
thought of before. Cards give combinations of say,  <br>
4 numbers. These are the safes. According to other  <br>
cards drawn players must place money in a bank. Other  <br>
cards are used to build up the combinations and these can  <br>
be stolen from each other. (Rough idea to be developed.)
 
Called <u>Leonard Willett</u>, the accountant, and made a date to  <br>
bring him my tax information in Ridgewood next Friday.
 
Called <u>Herb Roth</u> and asked about getting Dynamic Design games  <br>
for the Xerox exhibit. He said that he has very few games  <br>
available and that I should write, mentioning his name to: -  <br>
{Mr. <u>Ennio Ractinelli</u>, President  <br>
{Dynamic Design  <br>
{1433 North Central Park  <br>
{Anaheim, Cal. 92802  <br>
I should mention Herb. I asked about the new games.  <br>
<u>LIE, CHEAT, & STEAL:</u> is not available yet. Herb suggested  <br>
<u>EMPEROR OF CHINA</u> and <u>I-CHING</u>.
 
<u>Bob Gellman</u> called. He wants me to come down next week to  <br>
go over the slides finally. I told him that I completely  <br>
tied up next week with the Xerox exhibit. At his request  <br>
I'll call Monday or Tuesday evening to let him know if  <br>
I can possible make it to finalize <u>HOLIDAY</u>.
 
<u>Claude</u> called. Nothing specifically about games.

When talking with <u>Lee Tiffany</u> of S & R he said how well  <br>
<u>NUMBLES</u> and <u>SCRABBLE FOR JUNIORS</u> was doing in schools. Also  <br>
about setting up <u>SCRABBLE</u> tournaments all over the country.  <br>
 
Thinking of a <u>GAME</u> idea. Cards are provided as shown with  <br>
different layouts on the two sides.
 
[Diagram of a rectangle divided into 8 sections. 6 rectangles which are yellow (3), red (2), and blue (1) in color. Bounded at top and bottom by thin white rectanges.]
 
A board with grooves in a grid is included. Players place  <br>
the cards into the grooves so that in each  <br>
reentrant right angle the colors match. Or possibly  <br>
not all have to match. Count for matches, and a  <br>
larger number for mismatches.
