24 THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 1972
ST. MATTHIAS, APOSTLE - 55TH DAY - 311 DAYS TO COME
To Felicia's to talk with her accountant, Leonard Willett.
He thinks I can use "Capital Gains" for my 3M money.
I meant to bring a copy of the new edition of AGOG to
Felicia, which she requested yesterday, but I forgot.
Felicia showed me a letter from Larry Stockard at Hallmark.
He said that he would be dealing with her since Bob Edwards
was leaving for another job. He started the letter with
"Yes, we think PLANES is a good game too. The option contract
will be on the way shortly." (Approximate wording.) He
also said that they would be interested in FRENETICS, but not
if it is a package deal with other games.
Lillian Voegelin was there working on a project with Felicia
so I left soon after talking to Willett.
To 200 5th. Picked up the 2/21/72 issue of TOY & HOBBY WORLD.
Had an ad for COACHES ALL-STAR FOOTBALL (Great Games Inc.);
(Lawrence Toys, Inc.) CROSSTIXX, EGG TIMER, SCATTER BRAIN,
NOT QUITE, HEXASPIRATION, MAGNE - TANGLE, PANDORA'S BOX,
ANGLE-TANGLE, TRY ANGLES.
To Research Games. Bob Gellman there. Had a box for HOLIDAY
and it looked good - not too juvenile and not too egghead.
Bob said that F.A.O. Schwartz had already put in an order.
On the wall there was a mockup of a game called
HOLLYWOOD. I asked Bob about it and he said he hoped they
wouldn't have to use it, but if Ken Morgan wouldn't budge o
budge on the 18% royalty they would have to. I said that I
hoped that the game would not be the same. He said it
wouldn't be.
To the office of
{Fred Feucht Design Group
{300 Madison Ave.
{12th Floor
{(682-0040)
Bob Hallowell was busy with problems on the stock issuing
and couldn't make it. Fred and I played all or part of
DRILL FOR OIL, COLD WAR, XANDO, HEXOWORD, and TOURNEY.
He caught on and played very well. Went over the rules
of AIR BATTLE and CONNECTIONS. Told him that further
work was required on SUBSIDUARIES Also that unless they
had a strong liking for CONNECTIONS I'd just as soon leave
it out because of AIRLINE.
Fred said that he'd like to start with DRILL FOR OIL,
probably with the name WILDCAT. (Told him that the
name had been used many years ago.) He'd like the rules
for it some time at the end of next week.
Fred is working on packaging for M.B.'s adult game line. He
told me this when I noticed a copy of BAZAAR. He said
that the book case packaging is by far the most popular
for adult games.
