SUNDAY 21 FEBRUARY 1971
Quinquagesima 52nd day - 313 days to come
Gini Scott called. She doesn't have the use of a car so instead of
her coming here I will meet her at the Pressman Office
(Rm. 1172-200 5th Ave.) on Thursday at 4:30. She has one
game OH FUDGE definitely coming out with Pressman and
another CHECK POINT (see 8/20/70) possible, depending on whether
a mail order catalog agrees to include it. (The mold costs are
$25,000.) Because of these games and Pressman's interest in
IDEAS (which Gini told about before) she is able to use
the office.
I told her I saw WOMEN'S LIB in the Feb. PLAYTHINGS.
She hasn't seen it yet and I'll bring it with me. John
Hansen is now distributing her games again. She had been
thinking of changing to the outfit that handles the
PSYCHOLOGY TODAY games, but there will be a game on the
subject of "Women's Lib" in the May (I believe) issue. Be-
cause of this conflict she is back with Hansen. On the east
coast she is with Gary & Riedel.
In Times paper back review section saw that Clark Abt's
SERIOUS GAMES has been put out by The Viking Press
for $1.95.
In my talk with Gini Scott, she asked if I knew the game
RPM. Told her what I had seen of it and she was relieved.
She has a word GAME using four upright stands similar
to RSVP and was afraid RPM might be like it.
Called Arthur. Nothing specifically on games.
(cont. from 2/22) [2/22]
it appealed to people who didn't like highly competitive
games, being actually a multiple solitaire. He said they
realized that and are now going to have it tested by their
solitaire panel.
They are testing loads of games and are losing a lot of time be-
cause, unlike mine, many of the games were untested before
being submitted.
Felicia called again to find the result of my talk with Bob and
was disappointed. She thought that they might have had
cheapened the worth of my models by not asking for
damages. (Especially the way I always worried whether
a model had arrived.) Later she said it was probably
worth while for good will. (She may have been trying to make
me feel better.)
At the Gift Show the only thing of interest to me
was the Urban System games at Marge Namamore's booth.
ECOLOGY was there. Two others, POPULATION and a GAME
on "Woman's Lib" were supposed to be there but
(cont. on 2/20)
