SUNDAY 18 MAY Sunday after Ascension 1969 138th day - 227 days to come

[crossed out] Mailed the letter to Lech. Mailed the extension on CARRÉ to Arnold Shapiro.

Made a model of CLOSED CIRCUIT. Tested it with BB. She liked the game but found the puzzle frustrating.

Looked at the rules for TEMPO, INTERPLAY, and ODD OR EVEN. Prepared copies to take with me tomorrow.

Long call from Claude. Talked about MANIPULATION. He wants to send some new ideas on DEDUCTION to X, and wanted to in- clude them with his contract extension. I told him they were two separate matters and that it would probably be best to handle the changes thru Felicia. He asked me about the company that was interested in buying "Campaign Games." I told him they were looking for bigger com- panies.

(cont. from 5/19) [5/19] models home.) He will send us both models when he makes them up. They will be for next year's (1970) line, if he takes them.

Tom came here for supper. Following topics came up (not necessarily in this order): SENSITIVITY - A non-game put out independently. Will be handled by G&R. Each player gets an envelope full of neurosis, hang-ups, etc. By using these false personalities it is supposed to develope into a group therapy session. Tom will send me the instructions. GEMINI BRIDGE - (which came up when Tom saw SLAM in my table of contents). This is the one I knew about. He will leave a copy for me at 3M for me to pick up Wednesday. HIERARCHY - A skill game made up by one of his clients, played with square tiles. He'll send instructions. HAGGLE - (He also found this in the table-of-contents.) He'll tell Ana- tole about it. Showed me the rules. Each player (one set is good for up to 8 players - I think) gets 5 value rings and 5 each of "muffins," "girls," "ideas," and 2 others which I forget. Each player places the 5 rings to set values for the 5 items for him. 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢ (I think). Players trade their items freely and continue until no one will trade further. Players score all the items they end up with according to the values they set at the be- ginning; kept secret until this time. When I spoke to Anatole he said they would keep me informed about when it comes out. Gave him my card. Also told him that my form letter hadn't been answered. He was sorry (actually - not sarcastilcally). Word GAME using dials of various diameters with letters along the edges. These are turned to form words in all directions. (Rough idea.) The client is 83 years old. (cont. on 5/7)
