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> | |||

{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>. | |||
