for <u> | for <u>Prof. [Professor] Tauber</u>'s <u>GAME</u> that he said is something like | ||
<u>SUIT YOURSELF</u>. He also described it as it was in Tauber's | |||
correspondence. There is a resemblance, but it certainly | |||
isn't a steal. | |||
<br>Also discussed <u>UP</u>, <u>7-UP</u>, <u>ANTI-GRAVITATION</u>, <u>TANGRAMS</u>, <u>BRIDG-IT</u>, | |||
<u>HEX</u>, <u>STOPLO</u>. | |||
Rcd. a telephone call from <u>Felicia</u>. Just as she was ready to | |||
call <u>Jim Kraus</u> she rcd. an answer from him to her last letters. | |||
<br><u>IMAGE</u> will be introduced into the Bookshelf line in mid-summer. | |||
<br><u>POINT OF LAW</u> - he disagrees with <u>Felicia</u> that it is not a game. True | |||
there isn't movement on a board, but it brings out discussion | |||
and opposing viewpoints and the young will enjoy the | |||
interaction. (Felicia and I still disagree.) | |||
<br><u>TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS</u> - Since they are not pursuing the "Family | |||
Game Line" they are no longer interested in this. | |||
<br>Because of some current tests, further gamettes, including <u>PROFIT</u>, | |||
are not being pursued at present. | |||
<br>Everyone will be at the Stationery Show. | |||
<br><u>Felicia</u> hopes that we will get a chance to talk to them. | |||
She is afraid that <u>Pearl & Larry</u> will bug <u>Bill Caruson</u> about | |||
<u>HIGH-BID</u> and that he'll just drop it. (Apparently | |||
no one has notified her about what <u>Jack Davis</u> told me.) | |||
Actually <u>Pearl & Larry Winters</u> have the money and are willing | |||
to put out <u>HIGH BID</u> themselves. | |||
<br><u>Al Richter</u> may be in next Tuesday morning if he doesn't | |||
have to go to a job interview. Felicia may have a model assignment | |||
for him. | |||
<br>Asked her if she had any more information from Hallmark. | |||
They are too busy, she said, getting the games ready. | |||
<br>Some info I didn't get yesterday : - Larry (?) the | |||
one who took <u>Bob Edwards</u> place, has been moved into sales. | |||
The new man is <u>Bob Johnson</u> who had had a small game and | |||
crafts business of his own. <u>Goldsberry</u> thinks he is the | |||
greatest. | |||
<br><u>Johnson</u> will be in at Stationery Show looking at things. | |||
<u>Goldsberry</u> doesn't want him to bother with inventors but | |||
<u>Felicia</u> will try to arrange for us to meet. | |||
Phil found an article "''Guide to Party-giving''" in the Sept. '67 [September 1967] | |||
issue of ''<u>SEVENTEEN</u>''. Among other things it mentioned | |||
<u>THE NAME DROPPER GAME</u>, <u>CALL-IT-GOLF</u>, <u>RSVP</u>, <u>YACHT RACE</u>, <u>ESP</u>. | |||
