2 TUESDAY - JANUARY 1973
2ND DAY - 363 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. [received] call from {Odette Willis [Address and phone number]
who is a friend of {M. Lucien Vittet [Address]
who got my number from Pierre Berloquin. Vittet is the inventor of LE JEU DU 420 and is interested in finding an agent for it in the U.S. He also has some other games of his that he'd like to place. Odette has English models of all of them.
I called Felicia (service first and then at home). She is interested in LE JEU DU 420, tho she is doubtful about placing a word game. She also said that the new editi version of FIRE ISLAND LINGO is much better than the original. She'll show it to me. Agreed on a meeting at her place Friday at 2:00 P.M.
Called Odette and told her of the date. She'll bring all the models, even if she has to take a cab.

Downtown. To "Gamut of Games" and spoke to Phil.
I asked about the game TOP SECRET. He looked for the rules when he was home in Cleveland and definitely can't find it. He thinks he remembers it well enough to tell me how it plays.
He spoke to Carl Eisenberg. They will pretty surely be coming out with one set of about 5 p & p games - WORDS FOR THE WISE, CHINESE CHECK, etc., but doesn't know exactly when. Will retail for $2 each or a set of 5 for $6, which seems a little out of line.
Carl told Phil that he heard that 3M was going to really push the games this year, but if they don't go over they will drop them.
Phil showed me a new edition of CLUE. The graphics are more adult but the game is the same.
Discussed my writing up the rules for TRIC-TRAC. About all they can afford is $25 as a finder's fee. I told him that I'd go over the info well enough to show him the game next time we get together. If he likes it I will give him all the info but will let him get someone else to actually write it up.
Ran off repros [reproductions] of the game INSIGHT rules and took a sheet from the "Score Card" Pad.
I asked Phil about the latest rules for REALM that he promised to send me. He hasn't written them yet. We made a date to get together on 1/16 to play REALM.
I told Jed that I had given my copy of MYWORD! to someone with whom I played. He told me to take as many as I wanted. Took 2.

To S & T. Gave my column to Red. Al Nofi told me that there was a package for me that he gave to Phil F. Phil was upstairs. Went up and he'll bring the package over tonight. Took 1 copy of AMERICAN REVOLUTION and 2 of BREAKOUT AND PURSUIT.
The package Phil took home was TAU and a letter from the inventor. He read AGOG. He has another GAME on the market and
(cont. on 1/1)
