Rcd. an envelope from <u>Eric Nielsen</u> with rules for <u>HORSE</u>, <u>EUCLID</u>, | |||
<u>ZAG</u>, <u>CARD-BOARD</u>. Mentioned <u>PATHWAYS</u>, <u>PENTOMINO PAIR</u>, and | |||
the <u>DOMINO DOT GAME</u> as not being written up yet. <u>TRANSFERA</u> is | |||
not too original. Sent general idea of <u>TOUCH AND GO</u> and <u>ISOLATION</u>. | |||
Rcd. a package with 3 games from Harry Lee of Four Seasons | |||
publishers:- <u>HAPPY LANDINGS</u>, <u>STRIKES 'N SPARES</u>, <u>KNIGHTS</u>. | |||
To Everyone Products and took <u>SPELLBINDER</u>. Carl was in conference | |||
with his designers. Invited me to stay around for the dis- | |||
cussion of my items, but I didn't have the time. | |||
To <u>Felicia's</u>. <u>Claude</u> and Raymond there. <u>Arthur</u> and Wald later. <u>Tanna | |||
Beebe</u> there and 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 <u>Herb Roth'</u>s office. Herb asked me if I | |||
had heard of a game, <u>URSALA</u>, which is supposed to be making an im- | |||
pression 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. | |||
He said that <u>WINE CELLAR</u> was talking off. While we were there he | |||
got 600 copies of <u>BODY TALK</u> 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 <u>Felicia</u> and the rest of us. (Rules on large [illegible strikeout] 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 about <u>DUEL</u> still. Claude | |||
was thinking of submitting his game <u>SUSPENSE</u> to them. (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. | |||
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>. | |||
