Letter from Lou Zocchi.
Letter from Lou Zocchi. He spoke to someone at Dynamic
Design about sending me games. He gave my address to
a friend in Iowa who published a word <u>GAME</u>. Mentioned
<u>BATTLE OF BRITAIN</u>.
 
Call from <u>Arthur</u>. He had a letter from secretary at HASBRO
asking him what kind of a statement concerning his game
<br>(<u>THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD</u>) he wanted. We agreed
that when I got my letter I would send him a copy of my
answer concerning (<u>HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME</u>) so that he
would send them a similar reply.
 
To <u>Claude</u>'s with BB. Played the 3 games of <u>Wexler</u>'s.
<br><u>GAME</u>:- There is a board with 6 recessed areas as shown.
 
[drawing of a board with 6 rows divided into 10 spaces each]
 
There
are 2 sets of sliding pcs. [pieces], one for 2 players, the
other for 3 or 4 players. The set for 2 players
consists of 4 pcs. each 5 spaces long. The 5 spaces
are colored 2 red, 2 blue, and 1 white -
which is neutral. They are set up so that there
are different arrangements, and they are not
equal for the two players.
Each player gets 2 pcs. at random. Taking turns
they are placed in the recesses. The 1st must be
in an interior one and then new ones are placed to either
side. They can be placed in any position in the recess, except
that a player may not place a piece so that two of his color
are lined up vertically or diagonally. A line up with an intervening
pc. not lined up is also prohibited. After all 4 pieces
are down, players in turn move a pc. to another position in the
recess. A pc. that has just been played cannot be moved.
