THURSDAY 6 MARCH 1969 65th day - 300 days to come

Thought of using the ideas I previously had for a game CIRCUIT as a game and puzzle called CLOSED CIRCUIT. Figured out how to set it up. When I get a little time I'll work out the details.

Felicia called. Yest Tuesday she signed 3M forms for CINEMA and NOMINATION but now has decided that they should be signed with the firm name. She'll sign others, including one for ANOTHER and send them to me. I'll complete them and send them to Bob Claude.

Last week at the M.B. showroom I met Gene Plotnick and a girl from Joe Wolhandler Associates who do publicity for M.B. They heard me talking about the background of SWAHILI and were impressed. Gene said he had information about a game col- umnist in California and would send me reproductions. Not having received them, I called today and he said he would send them right out. Incidentally, last week Gene said the articles were not very interesting.

(cont. from 3/5) [3/5] What-cha-ma-call-it. Their new one is TAKE IT OFF in which the object is to be the first to get rid of your clothes (cards). The only choice is when to use a "raid" card which can be used when 1 or more players are "on stage." The gal there promised to send me the rules of MY SON THE DOCTOR.

Exri International. They had DOTYBLOCKS which are a pastime rather than a game. They are interested into creating a game using them and are interested in my helping out. Agreed that I would get a fraction of [crossed out] a 5% royalty depending on what fraction I contribute. I took a set and they will con- tact me. (Sheet is in 1969 Ad clips.)

Wff 'n Proof. Spoke to Ruth Patmore and gave her t she gave me more material on the games. Asked her if they took games other than from celebrities or professors. No! She said that if she had her way they wouldn't have done TRI-NIM, instead doing things only that tied to a specific subject. When I came back at the end of the day she gave me a copy of TRI-NIM.

At Plast-Trix, Classic, Embree, Stancraft, Artco, and Comon-Tator there were nothing of interest.

To 200 5th. Saw Mr. Kohner and asked him if he looked at puzzles submitted by outsiders. He said that they did very poorly with the puzzles. I asked him to send me a copy of TUMBLE WORDS and he said he would.

Thought of using the ideas I previously had for a game CIRCUIT
as a game and puzzle called CLOSED CIRCUIT. Figured out
how to set it up. When I get a little time I'll work out the
details.

signed with the firm name. She'll sign others, including one for
ANOTHER and send them to me. I'll complete them and send them
to Bob Claude.

girl from Joe Wolhandler Associates who do publicity for M.B.
They heard me talking about the background of SWAHILI and
were impressed. Gene said he had information about a game col-
umnist in California and would send me reproductions. Not
having received them, I called today and he said he would
send them right out. Incidentally, last week Gene said
