THURSDAY 11 NOVEMBER 1971
315th day - 50days to come
Wrote to Mike Abrams. Asked if SUCCESSION is out yet.
Felicia called to ask which game with Hallmark was supposed to
out by the end of this year. FITTING & PROPER.
Al Richter's things bounced. The Girl Scouts didn't want to
manufacture kits. Avalon returned the other kit to Al with the
reasons.
Mr. Fiel was in Monday with his three GAMEs. The
one on Wall Street was a dud. One was an action game
which he is probably going toput out himself - Felicia
will be involved in the promotion. The third one she can't
remember at all.
Parker sold 100,000 copies of TOUCH in 2 years, but they are
dropping it. Felicia will try to place in again.
Felicia willbe working on some kind of project with Lillian Voegelin.
At present it is for children. If it succeeds and becomes involved
with adults I will be invited in.
No word on PLANES or SPELLBINDER yet from Hallmark.
Some girl she knows who does children's things says that things
for M.B. are being screened by Harvey, Carlson. I said I doubted
it, since they are the P.R. firm for M.B. She agreed.
Earl Perel here for supper (bringing chianti).
Earl, Dale's Allan, and I played SPEED CIRCUIT. Ended up with
the closest possible finish. Good game.
BB, Earl, and I started a game of BEAT - THE - COMPUTER! but it
was horribly dull using the program board. Stopped.
BB, Earl, and I played THE GODFATHER GAME. Some of the
GO strategy was involved but there is also a good deal of luck.
But it is a good game. Earl won.
Earl is sure he saw a GAME with a foldout board in either
the Aug. or Sept. 1971 issue of PLAYBOY.
(Cont. from 11/12) [11/12]
RPM from S & R.
CONCENSUS. This was sent to the editor of S & T together
with a letter asking if S & T would be interested either
in distributing the game for them or in issuing a
cheaper version.
Jim added a note saying I should review it when I get
the chance and write to them saying we can't do anything more.
To Claude in the evening. Marty and Raymond played
BOUNDARY while I watched. Then Claude, Marty, Raymond,
Richie, and I played SPEED CIRCUIT. Richie & Claude didn't
cathch on very well, but it was pretty close until Marty
"spun out". Raymond beat me by one space.
