the <u>DOMINO DOT GAME</u> as not being written up yet.  <u>TRANSFERA</u> is

Rcd. a package with 3 games from <u>Harry Lee</u> of Four Seasons

To Everyone Products and took <u>SPELLBINDER</u>. <u>Carl</u> was in conference
with his designers.  Invited me to stay around for the discussion
of my items, but I didn't have the time.
 
To <u>Felicia</u>'s.  <u>Claude</u> and Raymond there.  <u>Arthur</u> and <u>Wald</u> later.  Tanna
Beebe there are someone named Harry from Columbia University
and Columbia Broadcasting.  Then <u>Lillian Vogelin</u> came with 3 girls.
They filmed Raymond and the three girls playing one of Lillian's
games.  (She did over 100 games when working for Transogram.) <br>
The four of us sat in Herb Roth's office.  Herb asked me if I
had heard of a game, <u>URSALA</u>, which is supposed to be making an impression
but he doesn't have any details.  I never heard of it.  Looked
at <u>OFFICE PARTY</u>.  One feature is the winning and losing of chips. When
required to take off an article of clothing may give up three chips instead.
Cards direct players to French kiss, rub against each other, etc. <br>
Asked Herb if he had any glossies of his games.  Not one.  Told
him about the possibility of ''<u>AGOG</u>'' in paperback. He seemed impressed. <br>
He said that WINE CELLAR was talking [taking?] off.  While we were there he
got 600 copies of BODY TALK ordered by Bloomingdale's. <br>
Tanna and Harry interviewed us a little but said they didn't have
enough film to take us. <br>
<u>Claude</u> showed his word <u>GAME</u>, now called <u>THE PURLOINED LETTER</u>
to Felicia and rest of us. (Rules on [illegible strikeout] large file card.)
There were some similarities to <u>SPELLBINDER</u> (which Claude
never saw) and Felicia said she didn't like it as well. <br>
Felicia said that Hallmark was crazy bout <u>DUEL</u> still. Claude
was surprised that I remembered it.) <br>
Claude told me that when he went to Marboro they had only
one copy of ''<u>AGOG</u>'' in the regular section at 20% off 6.95. <br>
Claude took back <u>PACK MY TRUNK</u>. Felicia tried it many places. <br>
I took back <u>WILD WOOD PILE</u> and <u>FREE FORM</u>. <br>
To <u>Wald</u>'s with <u>Arthur</u> (<u>Claude</u> too sleepy to make it). <br>
Played <u>SPECTRUM</u> with Arthur and Wald.  By the time we finished
the game they were caught up in it. <br>
We played their game <u>TOWN AND COUNTRY</u>. <br>
