<u>Rudy Lopez</u> called. Through a former neighbor he submitted <u>LIVE WIRE</u> and <u>LIVE WIRE - SUDDEN SHOCK</u> to Ideal. The former was returned quickly but the latter has been there for several months. Rudy has asked the former neighbor about it and has gotten evasive answers — "maybe it's lost." Rudy thinks they may be stealing it and wanted me to know — since he considers that this is also half mine (I insisted "no.")

I checked to see if I had a registerred letter on the games. No, but I realized that all the info I have on them in the game diary should stand up in court. Told him and we decided to wait and see what happens.

In evening played with the <u>Sapertseins</u>. Good but still want to improve it. All the cards were removed from the board before any companies were set up. Moving around the board then became rather meaningless. Also the "substitute" cards seem to be rather unpopular. While "Efficiency Experts" are, some possible changes. Limit trading to numbered cards, except that black cards can be included in a 2 for 1 trade. Instead of having to land on another player for a "forced trade," it comes when a player throws a double on the white dice. If a "one" shows on the die in connection with a double, the player can force a 1 for 1 trade with different types. Once all the cards are taken from the board, the board is no longer used. The dice are still thrown, to indicate "forced" trades and whose turn it is.

Change the substitutes as follows. 1 upper level (4 off), 2 middle level (4 or 3 off), 3 lower level (4, or 3, or 2 off). This will make Presidents and Vice-Presidents more valuable than the others. In connection with this make 6 "Efficiency Expert" cards. One makes up '3 the discrepency', the second makes up another '3. The other six cards will be 'Assistants' — instead of the present 7.
