<br>- <u>KGB</u> - (<u>Earl Doherty</u>'s). There are two of these. Game 1 - get a
formula and get out of camp. Game 2 - Sabotage 6 "monitors" and
get out of camp, or catch the sabateur: also called <u>DOUBLE AGENT</u>. (He'll send.)
<br>- <u>THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKI RACE</u> - They are taking over. I promised
to send my <u>S&T</u> writeup. (Will pack in a flat box.)
<br>- <u>RAT RACE</u> - completely revised. (He'll send.)
<br>- <u>ULCERS</u> - Same as previous except that equip't [equipment] for 6 is provided.
<br>- <u>SPECULATE</u> - Didn't see this displayed so I asked. Parker is
considering it so they can't display it, since they may not handle it.
House of Games is building a big factory and will be
manufacturing in Canada.
<br>When the president of Parker of Canada came along they
hid <u>KGB</u>. He is not popular.
<br>I asked about <u>ADMIRALS</u>. It is simply a twist on <u>BATTLESHIPS</u>.
<br>I asked about <u>BEAT THE ELF</u> and <u>KOLOR KRAZE</u> which weren't
on display. They are still in the line and they'd like more.
Explain <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u> (and mentioned <u>TORUS</u>). Alfons would like to
see it but is afraid about the cost. I'll show it to him at
Stationery Show when he will be in with Earl Doherty.
<br>At Marlon Creations Spoke to G.N. Hanna of Spear's. He told me
that Spear's had reissued <u>REVERSI</u> and it was doing well.
<br>I mentioned that I was trying to get <u>TREK</u> thru <u>Graeme Levin</u>.
Hanna said that Spear's gives Levin everything he asks for.
<br>From Bayazid & Co., Beirut Lebanon, got a game called
<u>WORLD COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING</u>. It is made to retail for $9.99, post-
paid. I think he said he'd send a glossy. (Later found that I couldn't
understand the rules. Some knowledge of commodity trading, I think, is
needed.) Told him about Roget Verhulst.
<br>Funtastick Co. had <u>THE DOT GAME</u>. There is an array of 7x7 "dots".
Between them there are grooves for laying plastic
