To <u>Herb Hochstetter</u>'s apt. [apartment] for a meeting with him and <u>Phil Orbanes</u>.
Discussed ideas for games to put on the Post
Cereal boxes. Herb suggested that we make use of colors, since
the boxes can be printed in 7 colors.
Phil mentioned a game - <u>CHROMOZONE</u> - that he had helped
fix up for <u>Bob Hallowell</u>. This is a feedback sort of game
with a player being prohibited from moving into a space of
the same color as those adjacent to the opponent (very
rough idea).
Phil suggested a game (maximum height of a pile is 4.) - which I named <u>STEPPING STONES</u>.
It is one I recognized from Phil's <u>ACTION</u> series.
It is started as shown. [drawing of a square divided into a 4x4 grid, inside each of the smaller squares is a circle. The circles in the top 2 rows are white and the circles in the bottom 2 rows are black] Players in turn move
a pc. [piece] orthogonally. If land on one of owns pcs. con-
tinue moving. Pcs. pinned by an enemy pc. can-
not move until it is removed. Object is to move
all your pcs. off the opposite side of the board first.
Bob Hallowell came up. It looks like he is not going to have
any trouble finding a job. I asked Herb if there was
any possibility of getting more copies of <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u>.
I'll have to contact {<u>Bob Hallowell</u> (home
[phone number].
