Wouldn't tell me anything about it, except to say that it <br> | |||
is very different. Maybe we'll get together at <u>Earl Perel</u>'s in <br> | |||

which the player grabs when he thinks he can make a word and which <br> | |||
gives him 1 minute to do it in. <br> | |||
Decided that the cards will have to be redone, with a <br> | |||

When I was at <u>Carl Eisenberg</u>'s I showed him <br> | |||
<u>WILD WOOD PILE</u>. He thought it would be good for Hoi Poloi. <br> | |||
Also told him that I had speeded up <u>SPELLBINDER</u>. <br> | |||
He said he'd like to see it then. I told him that I <br> | |||
thought his objection was to its being a card game. He <br> | |||
said, "no, it was too slow." Told him that if my agent <br> | |||
didn't place it with X I would show it to him again. <br> | |||
He said that he almost decided to take <u>Gini</u>'s word <br> | |||
<u>GAME</u> but there was something off in it. <br> | |||
He'd like to have a word <u>GAME</u>. | |||
