18 SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 1972
323RD DAY - 43 DAYS TO COME
Finished the ACQUIRE article. BB typed it
Arthur called while I was writing and I called him back. He has a new
card game. MOVE THE MOUNTAIN which he, Wald, and Anne
developed from KLONDIKE solitaire. He says it is quite good. Wished us
a good trip.
Called Claude for final goodbye before trip.
(cont. from 11/19) [12/7]
a player can't place one that fits (matches).
He told me of a GAME they were working on. There are
pieces like in NITTY GRITTY. They are placed on the board
with the idea object of forming paths (???)
Ennio promised an answer on all the things he wanted sent
by the middle of January, if he gets them by the week after
X'Mas. Felicia will probably send them in one box by private
carrier rather than take a chance with the Post Office
this time of year.
To Childcraft. Bought MAYRING, marked down to $2.19.
Also saw ORION marked down to $8.50 and also in that
section - HAAR HOOLIM PERCEPTION GAMES. Saw ARCHIEBALL. Dale called in the evening. Someone at Simulations wanted
to buy a copy of ORION. Told her of seeing it at Childcraft.
The picture of me at Xerox is in the current issue of
THE GENERAL. She'll try to grab a copy for me.
Called Arthur and made date to go there tomorrow.
[Started 12/7]
(cont. from 11/17) [12/8]
make reproductions of one in case I don't get the batch.
To Bloomingdale's. The only game of mine they had was
EXECUTIVE DECISION. They didn't have IMAGE either.
They had a series of 6 games packaged in cardboard
cubes. There was a loose set of rules for the series and
I took it. The games included are: CROSSWORD CUBES,
SENTENCE CUBES, BOWLING CUBES, SAN FRANCISCO CUBES,
JACKPOT CUBES, ROYAL DICE CUBES - YACHT.
(Filed in "Dice Games" folder.)
Also looked at TRIPLE YAHTZEE. There are 3 columns instead
of just one. A player can choose the column he wishes
to play in as well as the classification. The first column
counts singly, the second double, and the third triple
(or is it quadruple)?
