<u>Dale</u> had message from BB - to call <u>Ken Morgan</u> ([phone number omitted for privacy]),
and <u>Felicia</u> probably wouldn't be at her office at 2 today. <br>
Called <u>Ken Morgan</u>.  His lawyer's son sent him an S.E.C notice
about R.G.I.'s stock being suspended from sale for several months.
Not is back on sale, but brokers are warned about it.  Ken sent
a copy to me.  Ken wrote to Urban Systems telling them that
R.G.I. was in trouble and that he could get <u>MOVIE MOGULS</u> back. 
Then he learned that Urban Systems was one of the firms R.G.I.
(<u>Bob Gellman</u> that is) was considering merger with. <br>
To <u>Phil Orbanes</u>.  (During meeting with him called <u>Felicia</u> and
learned from her answering service that she wouldn't be in.)
"Gamut of Games" treated me to a sandwich and coffee. <br>
The game of <u>Joel</u>'s originally <u>SPELLBOUND</u>, then <u>KALEIDOSCOPE</u>, is now being
called <u>MONTAGE</u>.  Phil told me a little about it.  There is a quarille
board.  To start black spaces are but on crossword fashion, and
a number of colored squares are put on according to some
specific setup. Each color can be used for a series of letters -
(like blue could be A, B, C, D, or E; green could be F, G,H, I, or J ;
etc.).  Players form words using the colored squares and a
color can be changed to any of its letters in different turns
(Very rough idea.) <br>
Phil gave me a set of rules for <u>REALM</u> that he wrote
up in a hurry,  It has the feature game and 4 mini-games.
It doesn't include the <u>CHAIN REACTION</u> variation and
the one based on HNEFATAFL, which Phil will keep for use as
individual games. <br>
He also gave me a set of playing pcs. so that I can
work on it at home. <br>
We played a game of the feature version, which I won, and
it played quite well - tho I thought a little too short. <br>
Took a sheat with a set of rules for <u>NUMBER PLEASE!</u> which
can be played using the <u>MY WORD!</u> equipment.  Put it with
my <u>MY WORD!</u> set. <br>
Made repros of the rules, which also contain a <br>
