MONDAY 7 JULY
1969 188th day - 177 days to come
Called Barbara Francis. Told her that LOA would have to be changed.
We'll get together. [crossed out] She had proofs of the
Table of Contents. Sent it by messenger and I looked at it in
the evening. In pretty good shape.
Made repros of the rules for DEALER'S CHOICE to send to Lech.
Called Lee Horn and told her of Martin's column and to
send him my 4 games. Said she would, tho she wasn't
sure about whether she had the card games yet.
She is interested in doing some joint publicity about my
book and my games. Wants to look at a copy as soon as
possible.
I asked if she could send me copies of FEUDAL,
BLUE LINE, MONAD, & VENTURE when she has some spares. Said
she'd try.
Told her about the German book that mentioned ACQUIRE.
She asked for the full name and publisher and I get them
to her.
To Felicia after work.
She said that S&R was interested in a mystery GAME.
She had a letter from: { Game of the Month Club
P.O. Box 191
Berkeley Heights, N.J. 07922
They were interested in her games (sic) if she gave them
a good price and allowed them to be sold thru them at
30% below list price.
Showed me PEANUT PUTTER, which was a simplified
MAH JONG played with special cards.
Looked at STACK STICKS (which finally came back from X).
[diagram of two vertical and two horizontal rows of squares with numbers; label at bottom reads "4 square apart"]
There are a fairly large number of long sticks in (I think)
three different arrangements of colors
but in each arrangement the five colors
are repeated twice in order. Two sticks
start the game by being placed 4 squares
apart. The a dice is thrown to get a
color (one face gives a choice). The player
then places two sticks with the colors
matching where they cross. Continue until
the structure collapses. [Rough idea and
I probably have some errors.]
X loved this but couldn't price it.
Took home some info to copy on BLOCKBUSTER. This is by
Sid Blazer and Angelo Longo is interested in looking at
it after his vacation, now that Sid has made some suggested
changes.
