Rcd. [received] letter from <u>Warren Buell</u> that he rcd. [received] <u>HOLIDAY</u>. | |||
Call from <u>Terry Seymour</u> (spelling?), <u>Mickey Mackay</u>'s assistant. | |||
She was writing a publicity piece on a new <u>CHECKERS</u> packaging. | |||
She asked if I could recommend a book with some history | |||
and "romance" connected with a game. Looked at a number of books | |||
but the only one with much of value was H.J.R. Murray's | |||
''<u>A HISTORY OF BOARD-GAMES OTHER THAN CHESS</u>''. She'll try to get it | |||
out of the library. If she can't she'll call me Monday and I'll | |||
bring it there Tuesday. She said that she would like to see my | |||
collection and we'll set up a date after Toy Fair. <br> | |||
<u>Mary Curtis</u> has completed her paper and Mickey told her that | |||
she could come to M.B. [Milton Bradley] to make repros [reproductions] for Mickey and for me. | |||
Sent a copy of ''<u>AGOG</u>'' to <u>Robert E. Horn</u>. | |||
To <u>Claude</u>'s. He gave me 30 very small boxes as a birthday present | |||
and the three children gave me 12 colored tile folders and 13 black | |||
sheets with plastic overs. I brought <u>PATTON</u> as a present for | |||
Raymond, who is favorably acquainted with the R.G.I. line. <br> | |||
Claude gave me a handwritten copy of rules for a Bavarian Card | |||
<u>GAME</u>, which seems to be a minor <u>SKAT</u> variant. (Filed in Soucie folder) <br> | |||
Played Claude's new attempt at <u>TEN LITTLE INDIANS</u> (see 9/6/72). | |||
Didn't take the layout of the board. When a player cannot play, the | |||
player who went before can ask him for a card - same as on | |||
a question mark (?). The scoring system Claude had was 1 point for | |||
"killing a suspect", - 15 points for getting the murdered, and - 20 points | |||
for a wrong guess. Played 6 hand, including Jackie & Richie. It | |||
was slow moving and BB (I believe) suggested a question each <br> | |||
