want to deal with them. She also said that I could do
a puzzle better than that. I pointed out that I didn't
want to knock off Steve's idea, which basically
was to take a matching puzzle, such as <u>NITTY GRITTY</u>,
and put it into 3 dimensions. Bob once mentioned
that <u>PENTHOUSE</u> was similar to <u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>.
Felicia told Bob that there were loads of matching
puzzles and Bob admitted he wasn't up on everything on
the market.
The company that Felicia went to Boston as a consultant
licensed the manufacture of their <u>CUBE GAME</u>,
which is actually a puzzle with cubes and magnets, to
another company and then bugged that company so
much about not making their monthly payment on the dot
that they returned it. Now X is interested in it but
the Boston company is bugging them with exact details of
manufacture. Felicia told X that they might be more
agreeable on this if they would be given a definite date
for publication. X told her that she could tell them a
definite date would be given; in fact she could just
about tell anyone that. (Felicia is not getting an agent's
fee on this - just good will.)
She told me to bring as many two-hand skill games with
me as possible on Tuesday. I said I had to make models,
but she said that I didn't have to make a fancy job.
She told Bob that these were games that had been around
and he is not going to expect them to be in mint con-
dition. Also they took <u>TRIAGO</u> just from the rules, without
even seeing the model. (See 11/12.)
