THURSDAY 8 JULY 1971
189th day - 176 days to come
Sent check for $9 for a 3 -year renewal to TOYS.
To Reiss Associates for meeting with Phil Orbanes.
He introduced me to:
{Joel Gaines, President
{Gamut of Games, Inc.
{1133 Broadway, New York, N.Y., 10010
873-2227, 741-0808
Joel is the inventor and publisher of BRIDGETTE. He is
expanding with more games and so took a new name for
his company from my book AGOG.
The next gane he is putting out is a pencil & paper word
game he originally called ZIG-ZAG, but now has a new
name he wouldn't tell me because it wasn't protected yet.
He gave Phil some layout sheets for the game with,
I presume, the rules. Didn't show it to me.
If things go well they will be looking at games in the
fall to espand their line. Are particularly interested in
board games that can be packaged in a novel way.
Gave SPACE STIX to Phil. Discussed some of the facets of manufacturing
It will be much cheaper to silk screen
dots on the wood than drilling holes. And he thought that
stars might be a good idea - in keeping with the name.
He suggested my coming up with items for Mag-Nif who could
use as many asa dozen new ones. They sell for a low
price but sell 150,000 each a year or more. I have until
September to make next year's line. //Took NINE OF SWORDS solution.
To Felicia. Gave her a copy of my letter to Jim Kraus.
(See 7/4) for her files.
She showed me a letter from J. Kraus. IMAGE will be test-
marketed at the end of '71. They are still deciding on
TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS. And the mention of PLANES
that Felicia read to me before.
Took my copy of the RED LETTER extension contract. Felicia
is trying to get them to send the money quickly.
Rael Cowan was in earlier with a GAME game he called
SUDDEN DEATH. It is a 2-hand skill board game with each
player having only 3 pcs. These are not captured which
Rael thought was very original. Felicia was not impressed
by it but he is going to finish it up and bring it in again.
The letter that Mary Hilt sent to Felicia was not lost in the
mail, it was misplaced in Stancraft's mailing room.
Mary also informed Felicia that the copy of FOCUS I sent
reached her.
Felicia gave me the presentation by "Ivan Kronenfeld" and
"Steven Zwerling" of "Staten Island Community College"
(390-7707). It is just an idea for a board game involving
four different factions in college life. Gini Scott's
CONFRONTATION covered some of this ground. Which
I remarked to Felicia.
