Got a pretty good idea of how the contest worked and saw | |||
a promotional film. When she licenses the game to a company - | |||
and she has gotten a lot of interest - she will insist on an | |||
advance royalty of $10,000 to $15,000, which will mean | |||
$1000 to $1500 for me. Didn't say I would definitely | |||
do it; but if I decide not to do it I'll let her know at once. | |||
Took some folders with promotional material. (Later discarded.) | |||

To Brentanos. Saw <u>PATTON</u> but couldn't find <u>HOLIDAY</u>. | |||
Saw <u>BUSINESS STRATEGY</u> ($10) which is an improvement of | |||
<u>MANAGEMENT</u> by A.H. [Avalon Hill]<br> | |||
Also saw <u>SURVEILLANCE</u>. The board is as shown. | |||
[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 | |||
"spy bases". Play is the | |||
same as <u>NINE MAN MORRIS</u>, including | |||
the provision that when a player has | |||
only three pieces left he can "jump" | |||
a piece to any space. The center | |||
(dotted)space cannot be occupied when | |||
placing the pieces. In moving, it can be visited, but does | |||
not count in a line-of-three. (A German import.) | |||
