<u>Jerry D'Arcey</u> called. He | <u>Jerry D'Arcey</u> called. He is in town. I invited him for supper<br> | ||
tomorrow night and to sleep over.<br> | |||
Downtown. In Hallmark Gallery saw a good window display<br> | |||
of <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, <u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>, etc. Also a<br> | |||
counter display right at the cash register.<br> | |||
Spoke to <u>Nancy Allen</u> (see 10/5) about a <u>MISS UNIVERSE GAME</u>.<br> | |||
Got a pretty good idea of how the contest worked and saw <br> | |||
a promotional film. When she licenses the game to a company - <br> | |||
and she has gotten a lot of interest - she will insist on an<br> | |||
advance royalty of $10,000 to $15,000, which will mean<br> | |||
$1000 to $1500 for me. Didn't say I would definitely<br> | |||
do it; but if I decide not to do it I'll let her know at once.<br> | |||
Took some folders with promotional material. (Later discarded.)<br> | |||
To Brentanos. Saw <u>PATTON</u> but couldn't find <u>HOLIDAY</u>.<br> | |||
Saw <u>BUSINESS STRATEGY</u> ($10) which is an improvement of<br> | |||
<u>MANAGEMENT</u> by A.H.<br> | |||
Also saw <u>SURVEILLANCE</u>. The board is as shown.<br> | |||
[Diagram of a square board with 3 concentric square circuits. Each circuit contains 8 squares - one at each corner and one on each side in the center. There is also a square at the very center of the board which, unlike all the others, is made with dotted lines. Every square is connected to its neighboring squares with a line orthogonally, but not diagonally.] | |||
The spaces, except for the center one, are called<br> | |||
"spy bases". Play is the same as <u>NINE MAN MORRIS</u>, including<br> | |||
the provision that when a player has<br> | |||
only three pieces left he can "jump"<br> | |||
a piece to any space. The center<br> | |||
(dotted)space cannot be occupied when<br> | |||
placing the pieces. In moving, it can be visited, but does<br> | |||
not count in a line-of-three. (A German import.)<br> | |||
