SATURDAY 4 NOVEMBER 1967
308th day - 57 days to come
Played 2 games of VENTURE CAPITAL with BB, Marylin, and Dave. The latter
two liked it.
Played ANOTHER with Dana & Dave.
(cont. from 11/14) [11/16]
up the pcs. can then be released. In the illustration, once
the red pair is picked up then the white
pair can be picked up. Player picks up as
many pcs. as he can and scores 1 pt.
for each.
(This game will be put out next year by Lakeside.)
[Diagram of 4 polyhedral in the shape of standard 4 sided dice. 2 are white. 2 are red.]
Jerry also told me that Parker Brothers had been taken
over by General Mills.
He said that he saw FOCUS all over on the west coast.
He, his wife, and another couple played SEDUCTION. Was
not much of a game.
When he showed me Frank Thibault's TOTAL OUT, I told him
about my TRIPLE CROSS.
Jerry said that initial predictions about sales of
COUP D'ETAT were exaggerated. They hope now to hit sales of
300,000 this year.
Fabio Coen (See 10/31 & 11/8) & his wife, Sylvana visited us. He was
impressed with my collection. Played the following with him : -
FOCUS, HOLD THAT LINE, CHANGE CHANGE, and TAKE A NUMBER. We
decided that a book divided into chapters with different types
of games would be best. I'm to prepare an outline with some of
the introductory material and then he will check out the
reaction of the sales force.
Called Jerry D' Arcey to tell him about the TURN TURTLE game I have
in my files. Little chance that anything is being done with it now.
Jerry had lunch with a Parker salesman and was introduced
to a bigshot at Selchow & Righter.
Almost all of the games Jerry had with him had beautiful
models, looking like manufactured products.
