She said that it would be helpful to S.P.I., since Brentano's is
selling their games if <u>Dorothy Shapiro</u> were to get a
subscription to ''<u>S & T</u>''.<br>
A new client - "The Young Group" with Mr. and Mrs. Young (he
was once a consultant at Parker) has a game called <u>ALIMONY</u>.
It is played on a <u>MONOPOLY</u> type board with a center portion
showing 10 steps to the courthouse. The object is to end up with
as much as possible of the property. There are small models
of the pieces of property, which are cute - but expensive.<br>
She is thinking of submitting the game to Dynamic<br>
Design (Parker wouldn't have anything to do with it). They now
have a 4-page disclosure form that has to be filled out.
Told Felicia about <u>SPLIT</u>.<br>
When Owens-Illinois took <u>MINEFIELD</u> and the other item
Felicia asked for an advance of $1000 each. They didn't
give her an argument - but she still doesn't have the money.
2nd call from <u>Felicia</u>. She spoke to the Youngs and they
want to order a copy of <u>SPLIT</u>. Gave her the address.
Rcd. [received] ''<u>G & P</u>'' (Nov. [November] #19). Articles on <u>FEUDAL</u>, <u>TIDDLYWINKS</u>,
<u>CHINESE CHESS</u>, as well as the regular <u>SCRABBLE</u>, <u>DIPLOMACY</u>,
and <u>GO</u>. Games view covers <u>THE GREAT GAME OF BRITAIN</u>, <u>AMBUSH</u>,
<u>BUCCANEER</u>, and a book ''<u>GO: A GUIDE TO THE GAME</u>''. Gyles
Brandreth mentions that <u>ALICE IN WONDERLAND GAME</u> (which is
also advertised in the issue) is his game. He gives rules
for <u>THE LEXICOGRAPHER'S GAME</u>, which is the same as
<u>THE DICTIONARY GAME</u>. In "Forum" a reader gives rules for
<u>NOT A WORD</u>, a variation of <u>GHOSTS</u>.
Call from <u>Al Richter</u>. Date changed from 11/17 to 21/1.<br>
Called <u>Claude</u> to tell him that Kohner will see us in December. Not
in and left message with Richie.<br>
Call from <u>Bob Gellman</u> while I was out and called him back at home.
Told him to send <u>HOLIDAY</u> and <u>PATTON</u> to <u>Roger Verhulst</u>. He will
tomorrow. Told him I had a book on <u>MACARTHUR</u>.
