SUNDAY 7 MARCH 1971
Second Sunday in Lent 66th day - 299 days to come
Drove to N.Y. Hilton Hotel for International Toy Fair.
Dynamic Enterprises Inc. (P.O. Box 1070, Great Falls, Mont. 59401).
They are putting out THE GOTCHA GAME which is a drinking
& sex game which Charles Hope said was popular in hand -
drawn copies in colleges before they put it out. I told him
of Entex' GOTCHA. He gave me a copy. They are also putting
out KING CHECK and I got a copy. (Gave him copy of S&T.)
They are also distributing WHO CAN BEAT NIXON? They
only had two copies. Arranged to go there Wednesday
to pick one up as they were closing. Charles was interested
in a copy of AGOG and asked me to send one & bill him.
Told him I'd bring it Wednesday.
They are also distributing BLACKS & WHITES, THE CITIES GAME,
BODY TALK (by Psychology Today) and REINCARNATION
(by Dorwin).
WHO CAN BEAT NIXON? is [copyright] 1971 Harrison - Blaine of N.J., Inc.
Charles said NEW REPUBLIC Mag. was behind it. It retails for
$7. (THE GOTCHA GAME - $8, KING CHECK - $5)
Returned in the afternoon and Charles took me down for
coffee and a muffin (all I wanted.) He has an idea for a
GAME something like PASSWORD and wanted to know if I would
be willing to work on it. Yes, for a royalty, the amount
depending on my contribution to the idea. He'll contact me.
S.A. Unijouets (French):- Nothing new in games. Took a Block
House Catalog - with import articles from many countries.
Tiderider, Inc.:- Standard adult games.
Shackman:- MOSAIC-TRACK. Same as the game CONNECT I bought
at 1-2-Kangaroo. On the other side of the cards are colors for
matching Mosaic style.
Marlon Creations:- Had two Spear's Games, TOT-TEN and
QUANDRY. "Mr. Reidel" there and he said I could see them
at the G & R showroom.
Italian Collective Exhibit:- Feliceantonio botta designer,
Casella Postale 1456-50100 Firenze had a large sheet with
some games. Most were standards such as CHESS, SOLITARIO,
PECORE E LUPO, TREPP (MANCALA), DAMA CINESE, TRI TAU
(on a 4x4x4 field), IL GIOCO DELL 'EX. A few I don't recognize
including a U.S.A. based card game called GANGSTER STORY SALE.
(2 copies in 1971 Ad Clips). No one was there to talk to.
German Collective Exhibit:- No games.
Compagnie Generale du Jouet:- BATAILLE NAVALE, an electric
game which I didn't look at.
Tri-Aug [Ang?]:- Representative told me that they were going out of
games, their least profitable line. I asked where I could
get a copy of HIGH FINANCE and about my problem in getting
a catalog from Hamleys. He suggested writing to
[bracket] Hamley's
200 Regent St.
