Took sheet for <u>POINT OF LAW</u>; <u>BID & BLUFF</u> (which Jim confirmed was <br> | |||
played like <u>OH HELL</u>, but includes a board); <u>CHALLENGE BRIDGE</u> which <br> | |||
gives 100 hands of duplicate play. A <s>perporated</s> perforated <br> | |||
card, one for each hand (or possibly one can be used for more <br> | |||
than one hand), matches with markings on the backs of the <br> | |||
playing cards to indicate to whom they are dealt. The sheet also includes <br> | |||
""The Best of '71" and shows, among others, <u>SLEUTH</u>, <br> | |||
<u>VENTURE</u>, <u>ACQUIRE</u>, and <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>. <br> | |||
They are coming out during the summer with an action type <br> | |||
puzzle called <u>MASTER MAZE</u> which is something like <u>ON GUARD</u> <br> | |||
(see 1968). He is interested in seeing <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u> and I'll <br> | |||
bring it tomorrow. Jim suggested that I look at Mag-Nif to get <br> | |||
an idea of the sort of thing they'd like. <br> | |||
To Stancraft. <u>Norton Cross</u> not there yet and <u>Mary Hilt</u> not coming <br> | |||
in. Spoke to someone else who asked if I had received <br> | |||
royalty reports on <u>TRANSFORMATION</u>. Yes, but I didn't <br> | |||
understand why I didn't get money for <u>TEMPO</u>, <u>INTERPLAY</u>, and <br> | |||
<u>ODD OR EVEN</u>. (Later met <u>Tom Atwater</u> and he cleared it up.) <br> | |||
To booth shared by R.G.I., Gamut of Games, and Lenorka. <br> | |||
<u>Bob Gellman</u> had the art work for the <u>HOLIDAY</u> box. Looked pretty good. <br> | |||
<u>Joel Gaines</u> (or was it <u>Jed</u>?) asked me if I had seen the <br> | |||
American Greeting Card booths. They have a new line of games <br> | |||
on display, including one called <u>UPON MY WORD</u> which conflicts <br> | |||
with their <u>MY WORD</u>. He thinks they can sue to stop it. <br><u>Ellen Wood</u> of Lenorka was interested in ''<u>GAMES & PUZZLES</u> <br> | |||
and I told her I'd bring the copies for her to look at. She was <br> | |||
displaying a fancy <u>NINE MEN'S MORRIS</u> set and I told her about it. <br> | |||
Took a folder with <u>NINE MEN'S MORRIS</u>, <u>PILGRIM PUZZLE</u>, and <u>ATLANTIS</u>. <br> | |||
To House of Games. Told <u>Alfons Rubbens</u> that the package with <br> | |||
<u>4000 A.D.</u>, <u>SPECULATE</u>, and <u>CHESSWORD</u> just reached me so that only <br> | |||
the first could be in the Xerox exhibit. <br> | |||
They are not planning anything new for next year except for a <br> | |||
revised version of <u>RAT RACE</u>. Of course if I have something <br> | |||
outstanding they won't pass it up. He is interested in another <br> | |||
puzzle to go with <u>BEAT THE ELF</u> and <u>KOLOR KRAZE</u>. Told him <br> | |||
that I had one (<u>SKYSCRAPERS</u>) but that 3M was looking at it <br> | |||
tomorrow. If <u>Jim Kraus</u> doesn't like it I'll try to get it to <br> | |||
