Created page with "5 Tuesday - June 1973 <br>156th Day - 209 Days to Come ---- Found that the box from Russian <u>SCRABBLE</u> would be the right size, and then made a board for <u>HIT THE JACKPOT</u>. Worked til late. Pasting parts of circular stampings in the corners to keep the chips in place was a tedious job."

place was a tedious job.
<u>Phil Orbanes</u> called. He won't be able to get together in the
evening to play <u>COLLECTOR'S CHOICE</u>. Arranged that I
would bring it Thursday afternoon and we'll play a little.
Also possibly a little <u>CARTEL</u>.
Called Larry Blandin of <u>INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW</u>. Not in
and he called me back. Told him I haven't rcd. [received] the reconstructed
tape of last year's seminar on "What Makes a
Good Game," He'll look into it. He has some ideas for what
he'd like me to include in my seminar. He'll jot them
down and send them to me.
Had a new idea for an <u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> game. Object
is to get a number of tiles across the board. Tiles
move on space orthogonally. If land next to another
tile, either enemy or friendly, with 11 between them
the tile moves again. When move next to tile with
[arrow pointing left] between them, the tile at the tail of the arrow
can't move until the other one releases it. Two tiles with
[arrow pointing both directions] between them can't be placed, since both would be
frozen. Tried a little by myself and it seems as if it
may have some promise.
In the call from Larry Blandin he said that he has tried
to order $4,500 worth of Simulations Inc. games for the
show but has developed a bad relationship with <u>Jim
Dunnigan</u>. He would like me to try and patch things up.
Told him I'd probably see Jim Thursday and he'll call
me Friday to see what transpired.
