MONDAY 4 DECEMBER
1967 338th day - 27 days to come
The box of BAZAAR games came. They did a beautiful job and, although I
didn't check back, they seemed to have left everything as I had it,
except for the story line.
Called Alice and Felicia to tell them about it. Alice had just sent a
letter to Bill Caruson, complaining about HIGH BID not even being
shown or mentioned in the 3M ads. Both Alice and Felicia like
Will Erickson, who is running the educational game line, better than
Bill Caruson. They have sold a GAME of Hans Goldschmith's for
the educational line. Bill Dodge had a geographical rummy GAME
which Will Erickson returned as lacking in play value. He would like
to visit me (Bill Dodge that is) and see my game collection. Alice
thinks it would be a good idea for me to collaborate with Bill in im-
proving the play value. I said sure and to have him contact me.
Called Claude to tell him of the N.Y.G.A. meeting on 12/15. He'll
come if he doesn't work overtime.
The L.I. Press had an article on "sophisticated" games. Mentioned
BIG FUNERAL and CAMPAIGN, particularly good about the farmer.
Alice told me that she had given Will Erickson a copy of BALI
as a present. He liked it so much that he is consider-
ing buying it. He ordered 48 dozen games for testing.
He is in charge of the card game line and Alice thinks
it might be a good idea to submit VENTURE CAPITAL. I'll
think about it.
