FEBRUARY 1974 - WEDNESDAY 6
37TH DAY - 328 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. a printed card from Alice McElhone of TRIPPPLES. She
is now "un-common games" and will be displaying at
Toy Fair, Stationery Show, and others. (Discarded.)
Rcd. a letter from C. van Schagen - CREATOR, etc.
Rcd. a royalty report from Hallmark : -
THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS - - - (total sold) 13,410 @ $2.98 - -(to me) $1498.57
FITTING & PROPER - - - - (total sold) 15, 040 @ $2.98 - -(to me) $1680.72
(total) - - $3,179.29

Deposited check in Knickerbocker.

Call from Felicia. She was pretty happy with the Hallmark check.
CUBITS did better than either of mine, even tho they ran out
of dice for it. (Yesterday Bob Johnson said that they found a
supplier in Europe.)
She has a game from a new client that she named ENERGY SEARCH.
It is, she says, not great but she finds it fun and it has a
gimmick - a thermometer. I'll see it next Monday. I told her
about Itemation's ENERGY CRISIS GAME.
I asked her whether BB should retype the POP-SHAPE-AND-SHATTER, etc.
rules. Yes. She'll call Arnold Stubbman and tell him about
Frankel's call and the appointment.
She has a PUZZLE of Denis Ladoucer's that Dick Harris of M.B.
is interested in looking at. She gave Denis most of his games back.

Call from Claude. Asked me when he had to have ECLIPSE ready. He
will also try to get DIABOLIQUE ready.
He would like to have something for Wexler to show at Toy Fair
and is thinking of a series of 5 minute "Coffee Break Games" : -
NEXT, UPSTAGE, and a 3 x 3 GAME using the numbers from -1, 0, to 7. One player chooses a total of 8, 9, or 10 and then tries to
get a line with that total. The other player tries to stop it.
Claude hasn't seen Wexler since he asked for more than 50%.
Wald spoke to Wexler and Wexler said it was a mistake.
Spoke about the N.Y.G.A. meeting on 2/15.
Called Bob Abbott and told him about the change of date.
Claude said that Raymond really liked PATTON.

Thought of another possible addition to THE BRAIN GAME - 10
"Forced Auction" cards. These, divided between the players,
allow a player to force an opponent to auction a card.

Called Phil Orbanes and I'll pick up the items from yesterday on 2/11.

At John's bought 6 decks of cards and at Trootie's bought 4 sheets
of thin white cardboard.
