Created page with "9 Sunday - September 1973 <br>Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost - 252nd day - 113 days to come ---- Played <u>THE 31ST HEX</u> with BB, first with each player having two goals and then with each player having three goals. They both played well. <br>Then tried a three-hand game by myself. It probably won't be too bad if there is a point score. First to finish gets 2 points. 2nd gets 1 point. Thinking that there might well be a market for a card war <u>GAME</u>..."

They will go slow on other plastic items, realizing that Mag-Nif
does a very good job in manufacture and in packaging. They will
look at items now but it probably be at least a year until anything
further is done. Phil will show my <u>GROOVE</u>, <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u>, and
<u>EVEN WORSE</u>.
<br>I asked about the p&p games. Time is getting a little short on these
and in order to expedite things Carl will set up an appointment -
after he gets back from a California trip - for Phil to show the games
(plastic too?) to Carl, Manny, and Bob at the same time. (This will
help keep Carl from being arbitrary.)
<br>Phil feels sure that he has enough on hand to supply the 6
p&p they want for the beginning of '74, and the 6 for
backup.
<br>I asked, and royalties will continue with the new p&p's.
Thinking of a game using 18 "dominos" - using 3 symbols "[diamond] [circle] [square]"
in all possible combinations. There are 6 combinations, so each
occurs 3 times. <u>GAME</u>.
<br>As a game, players in turn draw one a place it in the layout
trying to continue runs of the same symbol.
<br>As a solitaire, pcs. [pieces] are drawn one at a time and placed next
to others already down so that a 6x6 array is formed with
each symbol connected to itself.
<br>Made a quick set for a word game - tentative name <u>SLIDEWORD</u>. Made
a set with 22 letters and two wild tiles. Set them up in a 5x5
array with one blank space. Tried it with BB and it was very
confining. Later tried it by myself with another letter tile removed,
leaving two empty spaces to work with. (Needs more work.)
Called <u>Claude</u>. Told him about the resemblance in equipment between
my <u>PUSHOVER</u> and his <u>DIABOLIQUE</u>, and that I was sorry that I hadn't
thought about it when he first told me about <u>DIABOLIQUE</u>. He wasn't
concerned. Actually he has a lot of work still to do on it. I told
him that the play was entirely different and I certainly didn't
mind if he submitted it.
<br>Made date for Thursday.
