THURSDAY 7 MAY Ascension Day 1970 127th day - 238 days to come

Changed COMBINATION to use only 40 cards and it was good. BB was hooked on it.

Brian Blake called. Date with Harry Lorayne next Friday. I'll pick up the book Monday @ 42nd St.

To I-S at lunch. Showed her my MAN IN SPACE. She really liked it, but doesn't know exactly what to do with it. She had two games by a new client:- PSYCH-OUT :- A psychological game with players interpreting other player's drawings. (Have rules.)

PSYCH-OUT :- A psychological game with players interpreting other
player's drawings. (Have rules.)

She heard that James Schisgall, who does puzzles for New York
Magazine, is thinking of going into the game business. She feels that
she just can't handle any more game companies and wondered whether
I would want to deal with him, with me getting 15% of the
royalties and her getting 10%. I said "yes" but suggested a 12 1/2% - 12 1/2%
split.
