Told him <u>TRIREME</u> was not for my column and he agreed. I'll <br> | |||
get it back to him as soon as I can make a copy. <br> | |||
Talked ti Jim about <u>CONCENSUS</u>. I'm to write to them that <br> | |||
we are not taking any games from outside sources. I'll keep <br> | |||
the game they sent. | |||
Looked at the rules for <u>SUMMIT</u> during day. There are a <br> | |||

of the points won, making a race game of it. <br> | |||
In looking thru the ''<u>PLAYTHINGS</u>'' 1971 Directory I found <br> | |||
an ad for <u>OH HELL</u> (pg. 194) put out by Twinson co. <br> | |||
Felicia gave me one of the <u>HAGGLE</u> sets <u>Zena Gelman</u> | |||
gave her. Felicia told me the project that she and <u>Lilian Vogel</u> were <br> | |||
thinking about doing. Lilian worked for Transogram for several years, on <br> | |||
children's games. In connection with this she set up a file of <br> | |||
shildren's games cross indexed by subject matter, such as "Cowboy <br> | |||
Games", etc. Her idea was to set up files for the last 10 years <br> | |||
and sell them to game companies for $5,000. One year of <br> | |||
updating free would be included and then a yearly charge would be made. | |||
At first Felicia was enthusiastic but by now has second <br> | |||
thoughts. She asked my opinion and I pointed out that <br> | |||
Parker had their archives and never seemed to use them. <br> | |||
Another thing that bothered Felicia was that Lilian was <br> | |||
moving into family games and that opened up a whole new <br> | |||
and large field. She asked if I'd be interested in working on <br> | |||
the family end. I said possibly after I've caught up with my <br> | |||
backlog, but I didn't sound too enthusiastic. <br> | |||
Felicia showed me an article in the ''<u>TIMES</u>'' (11/13) about <s>the</s> <br> | |||
<u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u>. There is a lot of protest <s>about</s> over the <br> | |||
game, from the Italian-American <s>league</s> League and others, including <br> | |||
some congressmen. Some stores have been getting rid <br> | |||
of it because of the protests. Brentano's, however, reports <br> | |||
brisk sales. <br> | |||
