Packaged <u>LIVE WIRE-SUDDEN SHOCK</u> and wrote the rules,
calling it simply <u>LIVE WIRE</u>. Drew the
diagrams and BB typed the rules.
Packaged <u>WILD WOOD PILE</u>, since the package I originally used
was wrecked in the return from 3M. Wrote new rules to
cover the easier and harder solutions and BB typed them. Mak-
ing a new solution sheet and didn't finish the diagrams
<u>Gini Scott</u> called. She is in New York, seeing a press about
<u>CONFRONTATION</u> and <u>THE LIB GAME</u>. She has some articles
coming up in the women's magazines. <u>TRIAL</u> is not quite
ready. She will send me a copy when it is.
She asked about my column with <u>CONFRONTATION</u> and I told
her I'd bring her a copy. We arranged to meet at the
Gametime party next Monday. Also told her that I'd give her
a copy of <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> sometime before she left town.
<u>Carl Eisenberg</u> called. Once Stationery Show is over we will get
together here to discuss my games and look at items for next
year.
He feels that <u>Bob Hallowell</u> is too much interested in a sculp-
tural look, at the expense of the play value. Carl wants
things with a lot of play value and then he'll take care of the
appearance.
He would like to consider <u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u> again, but rea-
lizes that Phil has committed me to show it to Bob Hallowell.
Carl asked that anything I show to him, in the future, not
be shown to Bob Hallowell. I said of course I wouldn't, until
he, Carl, rejects it.
Carl would like to keep his line different from Hallowell's
but he thinks Bob would do anything that would make a pro-
fit for him, even it conflicts with others in the Reiss
stable. He also feels that <u>Bob Reiss</u> by starting Hoi Polloi
was conflicting with his own clients; not so much with the
wood puzzles, but in things like <u>HE-SHE-HIM-HER</u> which, al-
though it was created by the women who did <u>CLASS</u>, is put
out under the Hoi Polloi label..
Carl is interested in board games and wants to do <u>Phil</u>'s
gambling <u>GAME</u> (which I know very little about) and his game
which I played as <u>CONGLOMERATES</u>. I asked if he is inter-
ested in new card games and he said "surprisingly, yes."

the goal. If a piece moves into a space occupied by an
opponent it is bumped (the opponent that is) and sent back
to start over. (Felicia and I both liked it.)
<u>BING-BONG BALL</u>. An action game with a square board. In
the center of each edge there is a shooter which consists
