<u>Mary Hilt</u> called about the <u>TRANSFORMATION</u> rules. She will add to
the bottom of the printed rules the note about random placing
on the playing field. On the matter of the lowest value of a forma-
tion, she suggested that after 1 point is scored the stone be placed
in the storage compartment. I agreed. I suggested putting a mark on the
available color stones. Too expensive. When the first run of 2,500
is out, she will do a folder for the rules since color printing on the
box cover is difficult. She'll send me a proof.
She is having trouble getting airplane markers for <u>AIRLINE</u>. I asked a-
bout the board and she said that <u>Hank Laub</u> insisted on the wrap-
around. I told her my feelings about antagonizing 3M and she un-
derstood. It won't look at all like the 3M games, she said.
She wants to do <u>NOMINATION</u> and <u>MAVERICK COUNTRY</u> for next year, but
the final decision is not up to her. She wants another theme for
the latter, and is not impressed with <u>MATCHED SET</u>. She'll think about it.
I asked about <u>CINEMA</u> and she said there were too many
components. I told her about my ideas for simplifying and
changing to a business theme. She'd like to see it.
I asked about <u>FOCUS</u> and she didn't know that it had been re-
leased by Whitman. She'd like to do it, but is not sure she can
use the name <u>FOCUS</u>. She'll also have trouble getting checkers in
four colors. (Nothing final on this.)
In discussing imitations and my contention that they don't sell, she
said that their small spout games, <u>LET'S PLAY GOLF</u>, etc. are
selling better than the 3M Gamettes; about 200 each per week.
