FEBRUARY 1974 - MONDAY 18
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION - 49TH DAY - 316 DAYS TO COME

Gave BB the new FOREIGN INTRIGUE rules to type. Also
to retype POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER, in case we get it
back from from Kohner, to SHAPE AND SHATTER.

Tol Colosseum for "International Toy Fair."
- Intellect Games. Spoke to and got card from Malcolm Gluck.
Looked at CABBIE, STOCKBROKER, FRENCH CHATTER, SPANISH CHATTER,
and 2 new ones THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE and ELECTION.
Actually got very little info on them, I believe the latter was
just an empty box. Took glossies of CABBIE, STOCKBROKER,
FRENCH CHATTER, and ELECTION. The games are being handled in
the U.S. by [bracket drawing] Chartwell American Corp.
[bracket drawing] 59 East 54th St.
[bracket drawing] N.Y., N.Y. 10022
and Malcolm will have
them send me review
copies, of all but
ELECTION (I believe).
- Funtastick. Spoke to White and told him that I'd be speaking to
the company which I sent the copy of THE DOT GAME and I'd
let him know if they are interested. Several companies have
contacted him but he didn't mention 3M among them. This year he
has interchangeable cards which allow some ten games to be
played. Most are standards, but the diagram shown is played by
[diagram drawing of 5x5 grid with "x"'s in each square]
two. Each in turn occupies a circle. Object is com-
plete any straight line. (It would seem that the
diagonals are the only possibilities.) He will send
me a review copy when it is in production. Gave
him a copy of my previous review. Took a descrip-
tive sheet.
- Bayazid & Company (Lebanon). WORLD COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING
and BARJEES which appeared to be PARCHISI on a fancy cloth board.
- Took a copy of BRITISH TOYS mag. (Dec. '73). Ads for WHATCHAMACALLIT
(doesn't look very interesting). Spear's has a REVERSI set.

To Statler-Hilton.
- 3M spoke to Keith Tuggle. He gave me a set for SNARE and
one sheet each from from HEX, PLASM, 3 DIMENSIONAL TIC TAC TOE,
NAVAL BATTLE, THORNS, NAB (from some legal reason they
couldn't use NIM, altho Keith would have preferred to, and
HEDRON. (Felicia was told that all were done "in-house.") He'll
send me the set when they are in full production.
Told him that I was now free to submit paper games to them.
He is interested in solitaires, including different mazes, because
of demand from hospitals. He'd also like to see SUPERGHOSTS.
But there is no hurry. He'll look at Stationary Show, when he'll
come for an evening he said. The game in AGOG that he origin-
ally was interested in was LAST WORD. Told him it is available
as well as any of the others.
Told him about my changes in FOREIGN INTRIGUE. He said that
he definitely liked the theme but my previous setup was too
cumbersome. Told him I'd have Felicia send it and he'll consider it
for '75 Bookshelf.
