SATURDAY 22 OCTOBER
1966 295th day - 70 days to come
To see Jules Cooper at Ideal. He didn't care for DATA PROCESSING.
Not enough excitement. Suggested a board game with the
data cards used for influencing the moves.
He said that they are interested in one or more logic
GAMEs of the same nature as CLUE. They want them
for a secret project and are in a hurry for them. They
will pay a royalty. He said that this is the first time he
ever gave an assignment to a free-lance inventer.
He did not mention my working there.
Spoke to Alice about her idea of yesterday. They have prob-
ably landed a very large BALI order and she will have
to go to Racine to talk to the president of Western
Printing to talk about financing. If This will probably be in
March. She will talk to him about an adult line, but will
tell "X" first. In the meantime she thinks I might as
well show GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY to Paul.
Spoke to Claude. He read off a long list of Mechanical games
he is working on.
Alice mentioned an artical in today's Times on a game
put out by Kaiser Industries called FUTURE. It will not
be for distribution to the general public - but Mayor
Lindsey will get one. Think I'll write and ask him to
look at it. Bought a copy of the Times. (Filed in Misc.
Games Folder.)
Played CONCENSUS at Marylin's with 9 people playing. Debbie
liked it but the others, including me, not too much. Think
it might be preferable to play with all numbers of players
similar to the skill version for 2 to 6, except that with 7
to 12 the players whose colors are in a box vote, after dis-
cussion, whether to take the right or end number. In case
of tie, the left wins.
