27 Saturday - January 1973
27th Day - 338 Days to Come

Finished and sent out a letter to Earl Perel. Mentioned ZODIAC ZOO, PHILANTHROPY, ACQUIRE, and BOUNDARY.
Wrote to Colin Haycraft about AGOG.
Wrote to Graeme Levin about AGOG. Mentioned ACQUIRE and that I haven't been getting copies of G&P.
Wrote to Don Turnbull accepting the job of Judge in the non-war game ALBION competition. Mentioned ABSTRACTION, THE GAME OF THE CLANS, MORDOR VERSUS THE WORLD IV, DELPHI, and THE CITIES GAME.

Played THE BRAIN GAME with the Baschkopfs. They liked it. Showed THE GUIDE TO SIMULATIONS/GAMES FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING to Annette. Noticed a game TRADE AND DEVELOP for $4.00 that might be worth getting.
Annette asked if I had equipment that she could use in school. Gave her one of Armbruster's TANGRAMS sets. She asked if there were outline cards on which to build the pictures. Told her I'd check with him on it.

Played DISPERSAL with Dave Horn. Beat him 3 games to 2. He caught on very well and liked it.

Another idea for THE BRAIN GAME. In a trade forced trade in different categories, the other player's only card of a category cannot be taken while there are still cards remaining to be bought. After all cards are out it can be taken.

Hasbro came up and I said that I had done consulting for them.
