Lou royalties for <u>BATTLE OF BRITAIN</u>, as part of his terminal <br> | |||
agreement with Renwal. This ends this year (I believe) and <br> | |||
Sim Pub is now trying to get the rights to the game from <br> | |||

Thinking of some p. and p. game ideas. <br> | |||
<u>LAND GRABBER</u> - area divided into irregularly shaped spaces. <br> | |||
Players start with 1 and then try to move out by <br> | |||
capturing adjacent areas. Each player chooses one or more <br> | |||
numbers from a supply he has printed on his side. The <br> | |||
number of owned adjacent areas is added to the number(s) <br> | |||
picked is determining the winner. (Rough idea.) <br> | |||
<u>ROAD BUILDERS</u> - Instead of my previous ideas, try having different types of line segments that are chosen <br> | |||
to fill in squares in accordance <br> | |||
with dice throws. (Rough idea.) <br> | |||
[Diagram of 7 squares - each with a different line segment or segments crossing it from different edges and corners.] | |||
Business <u>GAME</u>. Different directions for getting and losing <br> | |||
stock and for causing it to go up or down are printed <br> | |||
in the squares of a grid. Variety is acheived by assigning <br> | |||
different starting positions by dice throw. Probably best <br> | |||
to have each player have more than one "piece" to <br> | |||
move once across the "board". (Rough idea.) <br> | |||
Played <u>FAIRY TALE GAME</u> with BB and <u>Dale</u>. Abt. 20 minutes. | |||

Her <u>BALI</u> royalties dropped. <u>HIGH BID</u> is down to almost <br> | |||
nothing. She still hasn't rcd. my statement. | |||
To <u>Carl Eisenberg</u>'s office. Hoi Polloi wants 6 games by Aug. <br> | |||
24th. Would like to choose from 10 or 12. They must be <br> | |||
able to be played on planes or in a car. P. and P. is preferred. <br> | |||
Cards are O.K. But pcs. of cardboard are not. <br> | |||
They want first refusal rights on games of a similar <br> | |||
type for 24 months. I said O.K. on p. & p., but not on cards <br> | |||
since I already have connections for card games. O.K. with Carl. <br> | |||
I brought up the 6 games (<u>XANDO</u>, etc.) that <u>Bob Hallowell</u> <br> | |||
