Called | Called <u>Fabio Coen</u> and he called me back. The British rights <br> | ||
to <u>AGOG</u> have reverted to me. <br> | |||
Wrote to <u>Colin Haycraft</u>, of Gerald Duckworth, telling him this <br> | |||
and that I asked <u>Michael Dummett</u> to act as my agent. <br> | |||
Wrote to <u>Michael</u> telling him about <u>AGOG</u>. Asked him for <br> | |||
repros of the book <u>THE GAME KHANHOO</u>, also the info on <br> | |||
<u>MINCHIATE</u> and his info on card games in India. <br> | |||
Wrote to him about <u>TAROT</u> and <u>Stewart Kaplan</u>. | |||
Called the Mattel P.R. office to ask the list price of <u>BOUNDARY</u>. <br> | |||
No list price. She said about $4.50 and stuck with it when I <br> | |||
thought it should be higher judging by what I had seen. | |||
Called <u>Mike Alber</u> to ask list price of <u>ORION</u> - abt. $12.00. <br> | |||
He asked me what I thought of <u>MASTERPIECE</u> and I told him <br> | |||
that it could be good but it wasn't. <br> | |||
He told me that the article in ''<u>TIME</u>'' (11/15) gave the impression <br> | |||
by first mentioning <u>MONOPOLY</u>, that <u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u> <br> | |||
was put out by Parker. They have been getting a lot of complaints <br> | |||
over it: and they are thinking of suing ''<u>TIME</u>''. <br> | |||
Next spring Parker is coming out with an election game, <br> | |||
<u>LANDSLIDE</u>. Also a game about used cars called <br> | |||
<u>DEALERS CHOICE</u>. | |||
Called the P.R. people to check the list price of <u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u>. <br> | |||
$15.00. | |||

<u>Felicia</u> decided to send <u>CHECKPOINT</u> to Hallmark, but refused <br> | |||
to handle <u>COUNTERPOISE</u>. <br> | |||
The inventor, <u>Cox</u>, from Buffalo brought her a game <br> | |||
called <u>I SENTENCE U</u>. It is very gadgety but she <br> | |||
thinks Hallmark might like it as a different kind of <br> | |||
word game. He has it back for some changes that she suggested. <br> | |||
As soon as he returns it she will send it to <br> | |||
Hallmark. <br> | |||
Looked at the "biscuit box" edition of <u>IMAGE</u> by 3M. Read the <br> | |||
rules and ir seemed pretty much the way I remembered <br> | |||
it, but probably simpler. <br> | |||
In the same box Felicia had only the rules for <br> | |||
<u>BID & BLUFF</u>. She gave them to me. It is a knock-off of <br> | |||
<u>OH HELL</u> with some kind of track for keeping track <br> | |||
