JANUARY 1975 - FRIDAY 31
FIRST U.S. SATELLITE ORBITED 1958 - 31ST DAY - 334 DAYS TO COME

Call from {Rolf Myller
[Phone number omitted for privacy.]
He got my telephone number from
Phil Orbanes. He is an architect and has a patent on a 3-D
Jig-Saw puzzle- done with magnets, I believe. He also has
some GAMEs based on mazes and some others. He'd like to meet
Felicia. In our conversation IMAGE came up and he is a
friend of Henryk Szwarce. I suggested that he write to Henryk and
check whether Rolf going to Felicia would be wise. He thought
it a good idea.

Rcd. the Hallmark royalty report. The figures that Felicia noticed
seem to be a debit. Our royalties for FITTING & PROPER and
THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS are 0.
Rcd. a check for $8.59 for THE MEMORY BOOK - from Reiss Games.
Letter from Ed Schifman - actually a repro of a memo he sent to have
the "Special Document" in INTERSECTION changed, with a note to
me also mentioning TOTALLY.
Rcd. a royalty report from Random House. My debit for AGOG is
$2,100.12
Called Fabio. Set up date for 2/5 at 2:30 to show him rules for
MIRO and VASERELY. I also asked him to have Janet Townsend there
to discuss my drawings. I'll bring my contract and the new
report and he'll take care of it.

Playing 2 and 3-hand DELAUNAY by myself. Pretty much decided in
the 3-hand to eliminate the neutral color. It complicates the
rules and doesn't really add to the play of the game. It does
make the "drawing" more attractive.

Call fro Claude. He has tried out a rough version of his game
SUCCESS. One mechanism that he likes is a "Political Club."
When a player lands there by dice throw, or gets sent by a
card (I believe) he can stay as long as he likes - and dares. Each
turn he remains he collects 10% of the capital of each of the
other players. If a second player joins him, they each get 10%
of the other player's capital. However, if a third player
gets on the space, both of the previous two players lose
all their capital (to the third player I believe).
He will be going to Marboro and will pick up a copy of
WAR GAMES THROUGH THE AGES for me.

Wrote the rules for JACK POTS 6 and boxed it in a cut
down box from VINCE LOMBARDI'S GAME.
Played it with BB and Dana. Played O.K. altho it is not Dana's
type of game.
I increased the black markers for each player from 8 to 9.
It certainly didn't do any harm.
