This was done by a new client, <u>Dennis LaDouceur</u>, who brought <br> | |||
Felicia a mystery <u>GAME</u> for up to 15 players. If we get the chance <br> | |||
she'll show it to me. <br> | |||
<u>TRY-ANGLES</u> (Al Richter's). Tried to explain that there was a lot of <br> | |||
play value but Bob didn't care for it. <br> | |||
<u>AVARICE</u> - Too much luck Bob said. <br> | |||
<u>FOCUS</u> - We talked about it and Bob took the inside's of Felicia's <br> | |||
copy to try it. <br> | |||
<u>INDIAN CHESS</u> - Bob didn't know if royalties would be paid or not. <br> | |||
<u>SECRET SEQUENCE</u> - The contract for it is still in legal. <br> | |||
<u>TRIAGO</u> - They are not sure if they want to use it. <br> | |||
<u>TAM-BIT</u> - I suggested this and Bob looked at it. He liked it and said <br> | |||
it is the kind of family game they will probably want in about 2 years. <br> | |||
Felicia told us that she was going to show <u>TAM-BIT</u> and <u>TAKE FIVE</u> <br> | |||
to <u>Mr. Petrecelli</u> of Kontrell. At present he is only interested in <br> | |||
acquisitions. He is taking over <u>JOTTO</u>. <br> | |||
<u>BAFFLE</u> & <u>DEDUCTIONS</u> - They will hold them indefinitely, but will return <br> | |||
them if requested. <br> | |||
<u>PSYCHE-PATHS</u> - Bob will personally sit in on further tests. <br> | |||
<u>BALLS & CHAINS</u> - Bob previously rejected it. <br> | |||
<u>SKYSCRAPERS</u> - Bob found it interesting but the puzzle people at <br> | |||
- Hallmark like things that interlock. Told him that I was showing it to 3M. <br> | |||
<u>AGOG</u> - Bob is reading the company copy and I said I'd send him one. <br> | |||
<u>SPELLBINDER</u> - Asked Bob what the criticism was and he said that <u>Bob Edwards</u> had said it was no fun. <br> | |||
<u>STACK STICKS</u> Came up in the conversation and Samsonite probably will <br> | |||
do it. <br> | |||
I asked and Bob said that they are not interested in card games now. <br> | |||
The games and puzzles will probably come out under the Springbok logo. <br> | |||
Gave Bob the rules for <u>SKILL CARRE</u> (<u>SHAPE & SHATTER</u>). He asked <br> | |||
me to send him the rules for the game itself. (apparently the <br> | |||
files are not all in good shape.) Went over each of my other <br> | |||
games with the following results : - <u>TRIPLE CROSS</u> - send rules; <br> | |||
<u>RED LETTER</u> - it will definitely be coming out but send rules; <br> | |||
<u>PE-LING</u> - will definitely be coming out. <u>DIGIT</u> - it will definitely be <br> | |||
coming out but send rules; <u>ANOTHER</u>, <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, <u>TROMINO GO</u>, <br> | |||
