THURSDAY 1 FEBRUARY 1968
32nd day - 334 days to come

Thinking of an idea for a "drafting" games which could
be called VISUALIZATION. There are a series of cards
showing a top view of a rectangular object with cutouts.
Another set has front views, and a third set
has side views. Object is to get sets of 3 that match.
The views are made so that they can fit together in
different ways. Some type of "Rummy" play would probably
be best, with, perhaps, three separate draw and discard piles.

Alice called. Letter from X reporting on the sales of all the
game submitted by I-S.
They are playtesting : - RED LETTER, CAPTURE THE CARGO, FORMATION,
PERCEPTION.
The following are scheduled for their initial line - SHAPE AND SHATTER,
COLOR CONFUSION, TRIPLE CROSS, STACK STICKS, DEDUCTION.
The following are being returned : - WHOZAT? (Too indefinite.)
PITFALL (Like it, but don't want to go into such elaborate product at
present. May want to look at it again but don't feel it is fair to
hold it (!)). PARTY POLITICS (Started off interesting, but got
dull towards the end. Also it is too seasonal in interest.) [I reminded
Alice that we had agreed not to send it because of NOMINATION,
she said she was sorry.]
