THURSDAY 13 JULY 1967 194th day - 171 days to come

Called Felicia, still no word on Alice's return. Felicia had a letter from Bob Engel. Whitman's line for 1968 is complete and they will not look at anything new until they contact us before Toy Fair next year. Talked to Felicia about my riding up to Parker. She will call them and set up an appointment. Before this, however, I will see her next week to show her VENTURE CAPITAL and discuss it further.

Rcd. a letter from F. Daniel. He has not been doing anything on games. Would like a short note on the status of NUMBER FOOTBALL and FORMATION.

(cont. from 7/14) [7/14]

may end at an interior line. A bend or a cross is given a value of 1. The first play can use 1 unit, the 2nd 2, the 3rd 3, up to 6 on the last. They can be used as bends or crosses at will. With this variation some compulsion to cross lines of the other color would have to be introduced, otherwise I believe the tendency would be to stay completely each color by itself. (In this variation less or more than 22 boxes may result.) A fourth line by each player can be added, increasing the number of boxes to 37.

Claude, Anne, BB, and I played MANUEVER. BB and I liked it very much. Claude and Anne had reservations. I won & BB came in 2nd. A few points that weren't quite clear seem to work out as follows. Only one color can be in a space at one time except for the "terminal" space where any number of different colors may be. I believe that when a piece or pieces are evicted they may be p should be placed in a space contain- ing that color if it is in occuppied sequence with the space of eviction, rather than going back to an unoccuppied space. Claude thought the game would be improved if the card a player played was given to the following player. I don't agree but it might be good to allow a player to either pick the top card of the face up "play" pile or the face down "draw" pile.

Claude gave me a present of the book POLYOMINOES by Solomon W. Golomb.

Supposed to have an NYGA meeting today but Arthur called Claude and said he was too tired to come, even tho he had the day off to rest. So BB & I came to Claude's instead.
