At Macy's saw <u>RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>, <u>FITTING AND PROPER</u>, <u>CUBITS</u>,<br>
<u>PENTOMINOS</u>, <u<MOEBIES</u>, and <u>SWEEP</u> in stationery dept.<br>
In adult game dept. saw <u>QUATIONS</u>-<br>

It is played on a 21 by 21 (I believe) field. Spaces are marked<br>
with "double tile", "triple tile", and "double equation" similar to<br>
<u>SCRABBLE</u> but the density is greater. Players play with 7 number tiles<br>
and six "+ - x ÷ =" tiles. Make equations crossword style. Tiles<br>
score their value; symbols score + -1, - - 2, x - 3, ÷ - 4, = 1. (Fairly<br>
complete idea.)<br>
Also saw <u>NUMERO FUN</u> and <u>ASTRO-FUN</u> by <br>
{Yal Enterprises<br>

Couldn't see much of them but they<br>
seem to be race games teaching<br>
Numerology and Astrology.<br>
 
To Simulations. Gave Redmund the column. 6 pages of typewritten<br>
material roughly fills one page in ''<u>S & T</u>'' so it will go in three<br>
pages. If Redmund has to do any cutting he will contact me<br>
and we'll get together on it.<br>
I told <u>Jim D.</u> that I'd have the list of games for him<br>
