THURSDAY 18 JUNE 1970 169th day - 196 days to come

Felicia called. Brentano's is having a big sale in the game department with at least 1/3 off on everything. ACQUIRE was sold out (or some were put aside till after the sale) but there were a lot of BAZAAR. She saw a game GHETTO which lists for $24. She remembered that Western's name was on it. She took notes about the rest of the credits but lost them. She asked me to check on this if I went to Brentano's. She said she was going to write to Tom Mason and asked about it. Felicia asked if I knew about RENDEZVOUS IN SPACE. From what she saw on the box there it seemed more interesting to her than ASTRO-FLITE. She saw M.B.'s RECALL marked down to a final price of $2.00. Dorothy Shapiro, the Brentano buyer, says that SMOG and DIRTY WATER are doing well. They are also ordering BLACKS & WHITES. I gave Felicia the information on KRYPTO. She said that Dorothy Shapiro is interested in stocking it again. Dorothy Shapiro told Felicia that she heard from the Springbok people that Hallmark is going into the game business. Felicia heard from X that PE-LING was rcd. and was being considered. DATA and MARLBORO COUNTRY came back O.K. Felicia has a date next Tuesday with Y to completely discuss the game and puzzle field.

After work went to Brentano's. Bought RENDEZVOUS IN SPACE & also a book HANAFUDA THE FLOWER CARD GAME. Saw GHETTO. It is a classroom simulation game. Each participant is given a personality folder which tells their education, family situation, etc., and the resulting amount of available time. This time can be invested as the player wishes: working, education, recre- ation, small time "hustling, or big time "hustling." There are some chance devices that affect the payoff from these investments. After a set number of rounds the participant who has gotten the greater "rewards" from his time is the winner. (Rough idea.) The credits:- Simu-Learn, Simulations by Western Published by Western Publishing Co. (N.Y.) Developed by Academic Game Associates (c) 1969 by Dove Toll

Rcd. a pleasant letter from Bob Engel. He rcd. my postcard. Will get to see us when he gets to New York.

Felicia called. Brentano's is having a big sale in the game
department with at least 1/3 off on everything.
ACQUIRE was sold out (or some were put aside till after the
sale) but there were a lot of BAZAAR.
She saw a game GHETTO which lists for $24. She remembered
that Western's name was on it. She took notes about the rest of
the credits but lost them. She asked me to check on this
if I went to Brentano's. She said she was going to write to Tom
Mason and asked about it.
Felicia asked if I knew about RENDEZVOUS IN SPACE. From what she saw
on the box there it seemed more interesting to her than ASTRO-FLITE.
She saw M.B.'s RECALL marked down to a final price of $2.00.
Dorothy Shapiro, the Brentano buyer, says that SMOG and
DIRTY WATER are doing well. They are also ordering BLACKS & WHITES.
I gave Felicia the information on KRYPTO. She said that Dorothy
Shapiro is interested in stocking it again.
Dorothy Shapiro told Felicia that she heard from the Springbok people
that Hallmark is going into the game business.
Felicia heard from X that PE-LING was rcd. and was being considered.
DATA and MARLBORO COUNTRY came back O.K.
Felicia has a date next Tuesday with Y to completely discuss the game
and puzzle field.
After work went to Brentano's. Bought RENDEZVOUS IN SPACE &
also a book HANAFUDA THE FLOWER CARD GAME.
Saw GHETTO. It is a classroom simulation game. Each participant
is given a personality folder which tells their education, family
situation, etc., and the resulting amount of available time. This
