FRIDAY 2 MAY 1969
122nd day - 243 days to come
Reading more copies of S & T on subway.
Made reproductions of the rest of Haar Hoolim's letter giving me
permission to use THREE MUSKETEERS.
LE GUIDE MARABOUT DES JEUX DE SOCIÉTÉ arrived. Not much new.
There is a variation of JOTTO for 4 to 12 players using words
of different lengths, that is the one who chooses the word in
each round sets the length by the word he chooses.
Red a letter from "Information Resources, Inc." Tom Atwater told them I
had a classification system for games. They are trying to set up
a classification system for simulation games and would like to
look at my system.
Made another set of cards for playing DIGIT.
(cont. from 5/3) [5/21]
I asked him what he thought about a space GAME. They
haven't been too enthousiastic about one but would be
interested in seeing something different.
They would be interested in a GAME based on Astrology
since everybody has one.

Are-Jay : - NET THE FOX. - each player has one peg and they
move alon from space to space on an irregularly arranged
board, when the fox corners t is cornered the hunter
throws a die. With even he captures it. With odd the fox
excapes two spaces. The hunter then can try again to
corner the fox. One more escape and the fox wins. (Rough idea).
PEG POKER players are dealt 5 cards. In turn they
place a peg in the space representing a card of their
choice. Continue with betting, until each player has
three cands "exposed". Then have final round of betting. For
up to 6 players,.(Rough idea.)
