3 FRIDAY - MARCH 1972
63RD DAY - 303 DAYS TO COME
Thought of some possibilities for GAME that could be appropriate
for the Stancraft sophisticated line: WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?
with more sophisticated card themes; a card strip game using
cardboard dolls, but suggesting that they could be eliminated.
For a gambling game the idea of safes which I
thought of before. Cards give combinations of say,
4 numbers. These are the safes. According to other
cards drawn players must place money in a bank. Other
cards are used to build up the combinations and these can
be stolen from each other. (Rough idea to be developed.)
Called Leonard Willett, the accountant, and made a date to
bring him my tax information in Ridgewood next Friday.
Called Herb Roth and asked about getting Dynamic Design games
for the Xerox exhibit. He said that he has very few games
available and that I should write, mentioning his name to: -
{Mr. Ennio Ractinelli, President
{Dynamic Design
{1433 North Central Park
{Anaheim, Cal. 92802
I should mention Herb. I asked about the new games.
LIE, CHEAT, & STEAL: is not available yet. Herb suggested
EMPEROR OF CHINA and I-CHING.
Bob Gellman called. He wants me to come down next week to
go over the slides finally. I told him that I completely
tied up next week with the Xerox exhibit. At his request
I'll call Monday or Tuesday evening to let him know if
I can possible make it to finalize HOLIDAY.
Claude called. Nothing specifically about games.

When talking with Lee Tiffany of S & R he said how well
NUMBLES and SCRABBLE FOR JUNIORS was doing in schools. Also
about setting up SCRABBLE tournaments all over the country.
Thinking of a GAME idea. Cards are provided as shown with
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
the cards into the grooves so that in each
reentrant right angle the colors match. Or possibly
not all have to match. Count for matches, and a
larger number for mismatches.
