To Felicia's with BB. Felicia had a letter from Jim Krauss,  <br>
which had a carbon of Redpath's letter to me. Jim said  <br>
they would be moving in a new direction and wants to  <br>
have a long talk with her soon.  <br>
The inventor of <u>MATRIX</u> sent in rules which Felicia  <br>
didn't think were very clear. I'll go up there at lunch some  <br>
time next week to look at them.  <br>
Jake Williams was there. We played part of a game of  <br>
Connor's <u>ORBIT</u>. He didn't care much for it. I think it  <br>
shows promise but needs more work. The ending criterion  <br>
doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the game. <s>I tol</s>  <br>
I told Jake of my game with the square pieces, as  <br>
shown which can be turned to form different  <br>
configurations of paths. <u>BARRIERS</u>.
[Five small diagrams of squares with different paths crossing them (very similar to the modern game Carcassonne).]
Jake told me of an idea with square pieces with  <br>
configurations as shown. These are placed  in a  <br>
container with some pieces missing. Players  <br>
slide the squares in a "sliding block puzzle". As Jake pictured  <br>
it there are little trains on the tracks which move when the  <br>
tracks are lined up. Object is to get across the board with your  <br>
train. <u>GAME</u> idea.  <br>
Another promoter, Felicia said, is interested in Jake's <u>FACTOR</u>.  <br>
She also said that Connor has sent another skill <u>GAME</u>  <br>
which she hasn't rcd. yet.
Rcd. a letter from Al Samuels of aco. Is returning my game  <br>
since he couldn't get the price in line. Didn't say whether  <br>
it was <u>TOTALLY--</u> or <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>. Also didn't mention  <br>
my suggestions for cutting the price of the former.
Rcd. a letter from Tom Atwater. Looks good for <u>TEMPO</u>,  <br>
<u>ODD OR EVEN</u>, and <u>INTERPLAY</u>. Some interesting news.
Rcd, a copy of <u>INTERPLANETARY COMMUNICATOR</u> from  <br>
{Sam Ferris  <br>
{210 Newberry Ave.  <br>
{Newberry, Mich. 49868  <br>
and some other misc. material (not all of which I  <br>
understand). This was because of my ordering the game  <br>
<u>GALACTIC DIPLOMACY</u> (see 10/19).
Rcd. a package from Avalon-Hill with <u>ANZIO</u>, <u>TUF</u>, <u>TUFABET</u>,  <br>
and [crossed out] <u>C & O/B & O</u>.
