----
Rcd. [received] a package with 440 small dice 3 medium Bic
pens from <u>Phil Friedman</u>.
Tried out <u>NO WAY</u> and <u>SOLITAIRE DICE</u> by myself. Before
starting on the rules I called Phil Orbanes to make sure the
project was still on. [illegible word crossed out] Phil saw Carl Eisenberg during the
week and the contracts should be ready in a week or so. The
first series of 6 <s>GAM</s> games will be chosen shortly.
<u>SOLITAIRE DICE</u> will probably be in it. The 2nd series will be
chosen in about 2 months, but Carl Still wants to see <u>NO WAY</u>
now.
<u>Phil</u> and <u>Joel</u> will be here next Monday at 10. Phil said not
to show my games but rather to just discuss things in general,
and to emphasise [emphasize] that I can create game to order. Joel wants
me to go over Phil's rules for his <u>REALM</u> and will give 1/2% of
retail (3¢) royalty for doing it. Phil will get the full
2% of retail.
Phil told me a little about <u>Joel</u>'s game that he wants to
call <u>SPELLBOUND</u>. Cross words are formed using colored chips, each one
representing several letters. Player who puts down chips an-
nounces the letters as long as he can make everything fit.
(Rough idea.) Looked at my card on <u>SPELLBOUND</u>. Didn't have the
company name.
Once Phil get settled at "Game of Games" he may come here
to do research in my library and collection. He will see that
the company pays me for my trouble.
Joel is thinking of
