line. I passed it and they had sports items and a space game
that has been around for a long time.
 
She likes what Aladdin has done with <u>TRIPPPLES</u> and wrote to
them concerning new games, mentioning me. I told her that
<u>Alice McElhone</u> told me that they were looking for games
and Felicia said she spoke to Alice.
 
3M is interested in <u>LUXURY LINER</u>. So are a few other companies.
Felicia said it was a race game with some realistic features,
such as tailwinds, etc.
 
Since I said that <u>SPEED DASH!!</u> had some interesting features
she wrote to <u>Zena Gelman</u> about it.
 
<u>Alan Newman</u> brought her another batch of p&p <u>GAME</u>s, including
a solitaire. I mentioned that <u>Keith Tuggle</u> had told me that he
will look at my games during Stationary Show - Felicia said she
was sending out Alan's games now.
 
I will return the material on <u>ENTREPRENEUR</u>, <u>EXPLORATION</u>,
<u>CONQUEST</u>, <u>WILDCAT</u>, and <u>BREAK THE HOUSE</u> next week.
 
Rcd. a book catalog from "Zeitlin & Ver Brugge" on rare
books of science. Only thing of interest to me was a book
<u>DAS SCHACH-ODER KONIG-SPIEL</u> which also has a section on
<u>RYTHMO-MACHIA</u>. (1617 - $3,750) (Filed info in '74 misc.)
 
Sent <u>Phil Orbanes</u> the page on auto <u>BACKGAMMON</u> from the Pressman
catalog. Also a check for $285.26 as I-Q's cut on <u>WORDPLAY</u>, etc.
 
<u>Steve Brodie</u> here with the following "Intellect" games: <u>CABBIE</u>,
<u>FRENCH CHATTER</u>, <u>SPANISH CHATTER</u>, and <u>STOCKBROKER</u>. The latter
must of been used as a display sample. Some <s>pieces</s> parts were
glued and the rules were missing - but I had the ones that
Graeme sent me. I'll probably be able to make <s>due</s> do with it as is.
Showed Brodie <u>S&T</u> #42 and then gave it to him.
 
Call from <u>Claude</u>. At May's he saw three Israeli games at $5.95
each: <u>Q-SETS</u>, <u>BARRICADE</u>, <u>MATTIX</u>. Checked and I have
complete info on them. Decided not to spend the money.
Claude heard from <u>Earl</u> about a stag NYGA meeting this Friday
but Earl wasn't sure if he felt well enough. I called Earl and
he'd like the meeting, but would prefer to play for fun rather
than games we are working on seriously. He'll contact <u>Bob Abbott</u>.
I called Claude back later. He'll contact <u>Wald</u> if he can.
