THURSDAY 27 JULY 1967 208th day - 157 days to come

Felicia called. MB bounced PAYOFF. Mel Taft's letter said that there are many games which use the formation of coalitions as part of the game, but there just isn't anything to Payoff. Felicia said that originally she had felt something like that about Payoff but had been carried away by everyone else's enthousiasm. In preparing her report for X she found that the 3M sprots games are popular with retailers and are cutting into their purchases of Bookshelf games. In general, games with lots of rules are "in."

Bob Abbott over in the evening. Showed me his program for playing AWARI. I understood his logic but not his machine in- structions. He still hopes some day to do a GAME based on programming "flow" che diagram.
