Saturday 5 September 1970
248th day - 117 days to come
Red. the book SIMULATION GAMES FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSROOM
from the "Foreign Policy Association." Has the names of
many simulation games on the market, also the names of
quite a few of the companies.
A [illegible word cross out] reader of AGOG sent me a booklet with complete details
of an original game and a color picture of the board. The game
is called THE PEOPLE CHASE. It is a minor variation of
MONOPOLY. But he did go to a lot of trouble with it.
Felicia called. Rudy Lopez has been sick but he contacted Felicia
and will bring in his two great new GAMES. I'll join them.
He wants me to work them up for 33'3% of the royalties.
Felicia said that several of her friends saw me at Hallmark
and thought I was great.
Bob Edwards never got to talk to Felicia, tho he did call when
she wasn't in. I filled her in on what he told me.
Gini Scott came to see her and she just couldn't take to her.
(She was glad when I told her that BB had the same reaction.)
She told Gini that she there wasn't that much demand for purely
strategic games and she'd rather use mine. Gini showed her pictures
of 2 children's items and told her about a book that Western
printing might like. Gini is supposed to send them, but Felicia is
not sure she she will
The date to get together with Rudy Lopez was set for Tuesday @ 10,
I told her about Gary Sherbell and TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS.
She'd like to see it and I'll have him come later Tuesday.

Also saw CAPER.
The board consists of
a grid with blank [illegible word cross out]
spaces which are cov-

which continue the
grid, in one case go-

obstacles, such as barbed
wire, on the board.
Four jewels are placed
