11/11 11/10 WEDNESDAY 12 NOVEMBER 1969 316th day - 49 days to come

New idea for COUNTERPOINT. The first player cannot score. In addition his chips must be piled. This makes for defensive rather than of- fension play on the first play.

Felicia called. She had a letter from Arnold Shapiro which, among other things, told her what he told me concerning THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS. HIGH BID has been changed into a card game. Larry was sent 4 copies. IMPACT sent a fee to I-S for Felicia's report to Humble Oil. They also sent her a personal bonus.

Looked in Klein's toy dept. Nothing of interest.

Bought 7 more jiffy bags for mailing A GAMUT OF GAMES.

Called Diane Jaust. Told her about NOST. She will send one copy of book for review in NOST-ALGIA. Told her about "AGOG." The book will be discussed on "Encounter," which is a part of "Monitor," but not one in which they do interviews. Asked her to transfer me to Fabio so that I could check about PATTERNS II being put out as a packaged game. She thought it would be good but not for a year or two. Spoke to Fay Hertog. Fabio is on jury duty. Left word to have him call me when he has the chance.

Started working on a layout for THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS with each color different. It seems to be a much easier problem to set up than the original one. Also thought of a method of playing the game with more variety in the dials turned. The eight outer dials are considered in the equivelent positions to the directions that the ray with the dot can take. The direction that ray points specifies the next dial to be moved. If the same dial that is moved is specified, the center dial is called for. Another new rule: a player must move the position of the dial he turns.

The repro of the WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY review came from Diane.

Arthur called. He looked thru PACE quickly. The article is based around a "Mr. Cerebral" who discusses adult games. He didn't buy the copy since I wasn't featured. However, AGOG and the 3M games were pictured. He has a new BRIDGE type game with the HIGH DECK he'd like me to see.

Rcd. a letter from Haar. He hasn't rcd. AGOG yet. (cont. on 11/11)
