for preparing the boards. That is, I thought of this as  <br>
a way of merchandising games, rather than the individual  <br>
games themselves, which I can work up when necessary.  <br>
While in New Jersey called Joe Weisbecker (see 11/26). Had  <br>
a long conversation. Most of his stuff is gadgets, largely  <br>
magnetic, or flip-flops. The item with Parker consists  <br>
of dropping markers thru the chimney of a house and  <br>
guessing which door it will appear behind (this is <u>FLEEP HOUSE </u> <br>
in his letter).  <br>
He will send me a copy of <u>PSYCHEDELIC-9</u> which is a type  <br>
of <u>TIC-TAC-TOE</u> with different sized pieces.  <br>
I asked him about <u>DEDUCESPOT</u>. It is done with magnetic  <br>
spots but I didn't get the explanation on the phone.  <br>
I told him of my review of <u>DECISIONS - DECISIONS</u> in <u>S & T</u>  <br>
and told him I'd send him a copy.
 
Bought blue paint for painting small markers for use in <u>COUNTERPOINT</u>.
 
Rcd. an envelope from "Game of the Month Club Inc." (N.Y.)  <br>
contained a puzzle of fitting joined triangles into a container.  <br>
The booklet contained a good selection of games,  <br>
but none I paticularly wanted to buy. It had <u>VECTOR</u>  <br>
which I would have gotten if I didn't buy it at A & S.  <br>
They have provision for a membership for $1 if no games  <br>
are purchased. I think I'll <s>send</s> send this.
 
Rcd. a letter from:  <br>
{Gary Silver  <br>
{1923 15th St.  <br>
{San Francisco, Cal. 94114  <br>
He is a member of I.D.E.A.S. (Which Frank Thibeault  <br>
told me about) and he got my home & address  <br>
from Martin Gardner. He asked me a lot  <br>
of questions on copyrights, etc.
 
Rcd. a letter from Jerry D'Arcey. Pretty much apologized for  <br>
his last letter. He is working on a money game <u>COMMODITY</u>.  <br>
He bought <u>ACQUIRE</u> for his son, but won't look at it before  <br>
finishing his game.  <br>
<u>PLUG-A-JUG</u>, <u>THE IMPUZZABLES</u>, <u>CROSS UP POKER</u>  <br>
all are doing well.
