WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK * 108TH DAY * 257 DAYS TO COME

Finished the "board" for 3D BOXES and it looked quite well, altho
the tubes weren't perfectly vertical. Cutting pcs. for the
"lines."

(cont. from 4/21) [5/24]

learn much, but here is the list and his comments.
SHAPE & SHATTER - Will be looked at again.
TRIPLE CROSS - Will be looked at again.
RED LETTER - Will be looked at again for the "board game" line. (I told
him again about friends bugging me about when it will be out.)
ANOTHER - Being considered for the "board game" line. A few times he ran thru
the whole board. He'll try some more to see if it was a fluke.
DIGIT - "Card Games" will follow "board games" or be part of them. (??)
PE-LING - Has some questions. Thinks the rules are rather detailed - but
supposed that's the type of game it is.
WINDOW PAINS - Probably won't use it, but will look at it again.
TROMINO GO - For May of 1974.
TOTALLY-- - Will be looked at again.
PLANES - Doubtful.
FOCUS - For May of 1974.
MPULSE - He's looking forward to getting more chance to play it once the
rush is eased. (Of course this isn't under contract yet.)
Bob left for his hotel and I called Felicia's answering service again. Still
no word. Bob called me and I told him. He asked me to have Felicia call
him.
Redmond gave me a message they rcd. from David Zea of "Midwest Research."
He liked my review of UNITED STATES AUTO CLUB RACING GAME in issue #37.
To improve his special offer for S & T readers he is including
drivers for the following years: 1952, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 68, 69,
in addition to the previous 71 and 72.
David Isby gave me a German catalog - "Steidl." Listed with diagrams
areEL CID (which is BARBACAN), LHASA, SINGHA,
NAVAJO,SULAHAI. Listed without diagrams, DRACULA, FLIC-FLAC.
In my meeting with Bob Johnson I showed him Vittet's.
L'ANNEAU ENCHANTE DE TOM TIT. He said it seemed interesting
and he'd look at it if Vittet provides an English translation.

At the Stationery Show picked up an ad sheet for "Portal Publ. Ltd."
They have a series of poster games. They are shown and the
rules are there very small type (but just readable). Among
the games are: Love Game, 4-WAY CHECKERS, NIRVANA, TOP OF THE HEAP.

Made some more set-ups for HONORABLE RELATIONS. Also
decided to rearrange the problem sheets to get a better
relationship between the positions. Also the field will
have to be reduced to 6 x 6.

BB mentioned that she saw an advance piece on A TOY IS BORN
in February WOMAN'S DAY.
