Rcd. a printed card from
Rcd. a printed card from <u>Alice McElhone</u> of <u>TRIPPPLES</u>. She  <br>
is now "un-common games" and will be displaying at  <br>
Toy Fair, Stationery Show, and others. (Discarded.)  <br>
Rcd. a letter from C. van Schagen - <u>CREATOR</u>, etc.  <br>
Rcd. a royalty report from Hallmark : -  <br>
<u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u> - - - (total sold) 13,410 @ $2.98 - -(to me) $1498.57  <br>
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u> - - - - (total sold) 15, 040 @ $2.98 - -(to me) $1680.72  <br>
(total) - - $3,179.29
 
Deposited check in Knickerbocker.
 
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She was pretty happy with the Hallmark check.  <br>
<u>CUBITS</u> did better than either of mine, even tho they ran out  <br>
of dice for it. (Yesterday Bob Johnson said that they found a  <br>
supplier in Europe.)  <br>
She has a game from a new client that she named <u>ENERGY SEARCH</u>.  <br>
It is, she says, not great but she finds it fun and it has a  <br>
gimmick - a thermometer. I'll see it next Monday. I told her  <br>
about Itemation's <u>ENERGY CRISIS GAME</u>.  <br>
I asked her whether BB should retype the <u>POP-SHAPE-AND-SHATTER</u>, etc.  <br>
rules. Yes. She'll call <u>Arnold Stubbman</u> and tell him about  <br>
<u>Frankel</u>'s call and the appointment.  <br>
She has a <u>PUZZLE</u> of <u>Denis Ladoucer</u>'s that <u>Dick Harris</u> of M.B.  <br>
is interested in looking at. She gave Denis most of his games back.
 
Call from <u>Claude</u>. Asked me when he had to have <u>ECLIPSE</u> ready. He  <br>
will also try to get <u>DIABOLIQUE</u> ready.  <br>
He would like to have something for Wexler to show at Toy Fair  <br>
and is thinking of a series of 5 minute "Coffee Break Games" : -  <br>
<u>NEXT</u>, <u>UPSTAGE</u>, and a 3 x 3 <u>GAME</u> using the numbers from -1, 0, to 7. One player chooses a total of 8, 9, or 10 and then tries to  <br>
get a line with that total. The other player tries to stop it.  <br>
Claude hasn't seen Wexler since he asked for more than 50%.  <br>
<u>Wald</u> spoke to <u>Wexler</u> and Wexler said it was a mistake.  <br>
Spoke about the N.Y.G.A. meeting on 2/15.  <br>
Called <u>Bob Abbott</u> and told him about the change of date.  <br>
Claude said that Raymond really liked <u>PATTON</u>.  <br>
 
Thought of another possible addition to <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u> - 10  <br>
"Forced Auction" cards. These, divided between the players,  <br>
allow a player to force an opponent to auction a card.
 
Called <u>Phil Orbanes</u> and I'll pick up the items from yesterday on 2/11.  <br>
 
At John's bought 6 decks of cards and at Trootie's bought 4 sheets  <br>
of thin white cardboard.
