John Geiger over in the evening. He is going ahead with putting out <br> | |||
a lines of games himself. He is getting many of the suppliers, etc, <br> | |||
to accept stock instead of cash. He is also licensing the games to the <br> | |||
company in quantities, I think, of 1000 at a time, in case he <br> | |||
loses stock control. <br> | |||
Martin Gardner suggested Tom Atwater as a representative. I told <br> | |||
him what I knew about Atwater's activities and suggestead Gary & Riedel, <br> | |||
He has already been told to contact them and has an appointment <br> | |||
He is starting with a small grid of 6x6 which he will call <br> | |||
<u>THE LOGI-QUAD PUZZLE</u>. On this he will have the puzzle of <br> | |||
placing 18 balls each of two colors so that no squares are formed <br> | |||
of 4 balls of either color, including those with rotated axes. <br> | |||
This is from Martin Gardner's <u>HIP</u> and <u>SQUARE</u> (?) <br> | |||
There is also a game. Players in turn place one ball of <br> | |||
their color. When all 36 are down each player stores 1 point for <br> | |||
each ball that is in a line of 2 or more, counting horizontally and <br> | |||
vertically separately. Told him of my game <s>X and O</s> <u>X AND O</u> <br> | |||
which has a similar type of play and my scoring for <u>TOTALLY--</u> <br> | |||
which is similar. <br> | |||
Another game on the 6x6 grid will be <u>LOGI-QUAD</u>. <br> | |||
