FRIDAY 29 AUGUST
1969 241st day - 124 days to come
Stopped off at the MB showroom at 200 Fifth. Asked for
and received a copy of SWAHILI for reviewing. (At
home I found that one piece was missing. I impro-
vised one from the plastic "flash.")
When Bernie Newman didn't call me I called him. He
hadn't seen Shelly yesterday. They expect to meet over
the weekend and Bernie will contact me withe the re-
sults.
Rcd. a card from Warren Buell. Nothing about games.
[crossed out line]
Rcd. a package from Jim Dunnigan with 3 copies of
Vol. III, No. 2 of STRATEGY & TACTICS; the article knocking
him from EYE Magazine; the rules for STAR TREK GAME
by Lou Zocchi; and a letter and article on OH-WAH-REE by
Jared Johnson.
Called Jim and arranged to go to the office bldg (159
Madison Ave - at 32nd St.) where he works at night.
He ran off 6 copies of MARTELLE - THE NEW PARLOR GAME
and kept one.
We discussed my next column and he liked the idea
of reviews of strategy games for X'Mas giving.
So far I decided on using FEUDAL, SWAHILI, TRI-NIM,
MONAD, and 3-D CHESS. He can give me up to 3 pages.
Jim thinks I should write to Jared Johnson and decide
how I can make use of him as an assistant.
Jim game me three more copies of STRATEGY & TACTICS.
Rcd. a letter from Susan Vibert of PACE Magazine. The
X'Mas issue will have a major article on new games.
Wants information on my games and a copy of my book
within less than 3 weeks.
At office ran off three sets of repros of the
TROMINO GO game in S&T.
When I got together with Jim Dunnigan we discussed my
coming to his house on Fridays and using some of his guests
to test games for my reviews.
