17 Saturday - February 1973
48th Day - 317 Days to Come
Letter from Earl Perel. He'll send the material on
DON'T BLOW A FUSE to Al Richter in a week or two.
Letter from Bill Rawlings. Sent me rules for COLLISION. He
doesn't have the rules for FELIX & ROVER but suspects
it is similar to FOX & GEESE or RIMAU-RIMAU.
Mentions PARITY, SPROUTS, KNIGHT-RELAY CHESS, &
2-SYMBOL UNAMBIGUOUS CHESS. Also TRIPPPLES and PLOY.
Telephone call from Roger Verhulst in Grand Rapids. A reader
is interested in getting a copy of AGOG, which Roger
has plugged 3 times, but can't find one. I told Roger about
Waldenbooks probably having it; also gave him the address
of "Book Sales; and failing that, I'll sell one to the reader.
He has gotten a number of letters on AGOG, which is good
since it shows that the column is being read. Most of his
letters are from readers who can't locate a reviewed game.
He rcd. [received] word from Zeke Rose of Ideal, and thanked me for telling
Zeke about him. Surprisingly, the only company that sends
him games without his having to ask is Parker [Parker Brothers]. Others, like
3M, he gets when he asks. And some, particularly M.B. [Milton Bradley]
are not cooperative at all. I told him I'd talk to Mickey Mackay
about him. I also said I'd give his name to small
manufacturers at the Toy Fair. In that connection I suggested
that he send me some of his cards to hand out. He said
he would.
There is a possibility that King Features may syndicate
his column. As soon as he can get in to Chicago he'll run off
a set of all the columns and send them to me.
He mentioned someone in California doing a column on games
and I told him of Richard Moon and the SAN MATEO TIMES.
He rcd. [received] a copy of ACQUIRE and looks forward to playing it soon.
We'll probably get together at THE INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW.
Called Arthur. Someone at Stein and Day gave him a galley
of A TOY IS BORN. I am in a chapter on "The Professionals" together
with Marvin Glass and a doll designer.
Working on packaging THE BRAIN GAME. Came up with names for
the 9 companies and added them to the cards.
