75TH DAY - 291 DAYS TO COME
Rcd. a carbon of a letter Leonard Willett sent to Michaelson
at 3M about the two 1099 forms for 1971.
Rcd. a letter from D.B. Wade who is an AGOG fan. He had
written before and I answered him. Discussed games in
general, including CHESS, GO, BRIDGE, MONOPOLY, CAREERS,
SCRABBLE, VENTURE, and MONAD.
To R.G.I. Went over the slides with Bob Gellman for
HOLIDAY. He still has to order a few nore. (He called down
for sandwiches and then asked me for my share.)
Took a copy of MOVIE MOGULS to display at Xerox.
Apparently they have come to terms with Ken Morgan.
Erik Naiburg (spelling?) came in while I was there. He thanked
me for the review of CAVEAT EMPTOR in BOOK WORLD. Told
him about the Xerox exhibit and he gave me a copy of
VECTOR for it. Asked him if there were any new games
coming out this year by Plan B. No.
While waiting for Bob to finish with someone else looked at
HAUL THE FREIGHT (Bar-Zim '62). Have all the rules in '63
diary except that I say that players can buy from
1 to 10 shares of stock, their choice. Actually the stock
certificates are in denominations of 10 or 100 and, I believe,
certain spaces allow one or the other.
Bar-Zim shares the office with R.G.I. They suggested
the R.G.I. might like to put on HAUL THE FREIGHT. Bob asked
my opinion of it and I said it was fair.
Bar-Zim has an inexpensive set of triangular dominos called
TRI-DOMINOS and an inexpensive alignment game on a 4x4x4
field called TRI.
To Felicia's. We were both rather discouraged over the whole game
business. She thinks that 3M will try to make a very tough
contract from now on, but that we shouldn't accept a bad
one.
She had the contract from Hallmark for PLANES (3 copies
so I took one with me) and it is a better contract
with the "Hold Harmless" clause not included. Also took the
check for $375.00.
Bill Dohrmann also took Lillian Voegelin's FOUR LETTER WORDS with
him that day he came to I.S. to look at games.
ENVIRONMENT finally reached Dynamic Design, almost 2 months
from the time she sent it.
Went next door to talk to Herb Roth. Asked him if he'd check
with the president of Dynamic Design next time he spoke to
him whether he will be sending me games for the Xerox
exhibit. No real answer. Looked at flyers for the new
Dynamic Design games. EMPEROR OF CHINA - seems to be a
war game. I-CHING - seems to be just the fortune telling.
LIE, CHEAT, & STEAL - political game with opportunities to cheat,
within the rules. DRUG ATTACK. AIRPORT - seems to be a
