19 Friday - January 1973
Robert E. Lee Born 1807 - 19th Day - 346 Days to Come
Thought of an idea for scoring SUPER-TAC-TOE. The player
who goes first can decided that he doesn't have any
further chance and suggest stopping the game. If the second
player accepts he scores as many pcs. [pieces] as the 1st player
placed. If he thinks he can win, the 2nd player can continue
the game. If he does win he scores twice the number of pcs. [pieces]
played by the 1st player. If he doesn't neither player scores.
If the 1st player wins he scores a set amount (to be determined).
Called Al Richter. They are coming tomorrow.
Played PUSH OVER with the Horns, 4-hand partnership. They
liked it a lot.
(cont. from 1/21) [2/26]
the p. and p. games) and a little about the one with Gini.
Called Phil Orbanes. Told him about Gini's suit. He'll check
with his lawyer on it.
Told him that a company was coming out with p. & p. games
and would like some of mine, particularly from AGOG. He said
that our contract calls for first refusal rights and he is sure
that Carl wouldn't stand in my way, since the cheap price and
presentation is in no way competitive with the Hoi Polloi presentation.

segments. The game is BOXES with the addition of a spinner.
This specifies horizontal or vertical and a number from 1 to 3. Of
course regular BOXES can be played. David White, the president,
has another variation which is not in the rules. He calls it
FOLLOW THE LEADER. A segment must be played connecting with
the last segment placed. (Didn't take one. Wasn't offered.)
Shackman had a game, MAGNA WORD GAME, which is WORD SQUARES
played with magnetic tiles.
(Discarded catalog of 23rd International Toy Fair.)
Package with GROOVE and HOLEY TERROR came and BB had to sign
for it.
Call from Phil Orbanes. Carl Eisenberg said that he'd release me from
the contract if I accepted a flat fee for my share of the games. If
not he'd take a long time with the first refusal. Told Phil I'd
stay with the royalties.
Told Phil that I rcd. [received] GROOVE and HOLEY TERROR. His lawyer said
that he should write to Knox, rather than join the suit. Now he feels,
Phil that is, that there is no need to join the suit, since he expects
to be getting his things back also. I mentioned the Gini
is the reason we're getting them back. He agreed and said that
