FRIDAY 15 JANUARY 1971 15th day - 350 days to come

Writing the article on my 3M games for THE GAMESMAN. Wrote up ACQUIRE and part of BAZAAR.

was correct. I asked if he had seen AGOG. No. He'll check when he gets back to see if the copy I sent to Constance Herrick is there. If not he'll let me know and I'll send him another. He suggests in the future that I correspond with him or with Bill Dohrmann. He asked if I had any games to show them. Not at present. He will send me copies of ORION and MASTERPIECE. Looked at MASTERPIECE. There are 24 paintings and 24 value cards including "forgery." The values are shuffled and attached to the painting so that the value is unknown un- til the player gets a chance to look at it. Paintings are auc- tioned by the bank and between players. Most money and value of paintings at end is winner. (Rough idea.) ORION. About a dozen games and puzzles. (See catalog.) SCAN (see catalog). Players choose which area, of the 4, they have to match. Or it can be "dealer's choice." (But if the two decks are identical it doesn't matter?) PLOTZ! (see catalog). Place marbles in hole determined by throw of 2 dice. CAREERS (see catalog). The occupations have been updated, including a career in ecology. E.S. Lowe. Had 3 new games with SCRABBLE type boards. Couldn't find anyone to give me the details. PLAY ON WORDS - with letter tiles. NUMBERS UP - with number tiles. SHOWDOWN POKER with card tiles. Cadaco. Nothing new in adult line. Got a 1971 catalog. Saalfield. SKORE. Only a mock-up box there. SCRABBLE like play with making of equations in crossword style. They'll send me a copy. Rcd. a statement of earnings from Hallmark. They did not in- clude the two $250 payments sent directly to Felicia.

Felicia had hinted about some big news about Hallmark. Called her. She heard from one of her stock holders that they will come out with a very extensive line. She asked me to check whether Whitman has Natalie Donna's FLINGERS on display. [started 3/2]

was correct. I asked if he had seen AGOG. No. He'll check when
he gets back to see if the copy I sent to Constance Herrick is
there. If not he'll let me know and I'll send him another.
He suggests in the future that I correspond with him or
with Bill Dohrmann. He asked if I had any games to show them.
Not at present. He will send me copies of ORION and
MASTERPIECE.
Looked at MASTERPIECE. There are 24 paintings and 24
value cards including "forgery." The values are shuffled and
attached to the painting so that the value is unknown un-
til the player gets a chance to look at it. Paintings are auc-
tioned by the bank and between players. Most money and

PLOTZ! (see catalog). Place marbles in hole determined by

CAREERS (see catalog). The occupations have been updated,
including a career in ecology.
E.S. Lowe. Had 3 new games with SCRABBLE type boards.
Couldn't find anyone to give me the details. PLAY ON WORDS -
with letter tiles. NUMBERS UP - with number tiles. SHOWDOWN POKER
with card tiles.
Cadaco. Nothing new in adult line. Got a 1971 catalog.
Saalfield. SKORE. Only a mock-up box there. SCRABBLE like play
with making of equations in crossword style. They'll send me
a copy.
