and Felicia said she spoke to Alice. | |||
<br>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. | |||
<br>Since I said that <u>SPEED DASH!!</u> had some interesting features | |||
she wrote to <u>Zena Gelman</u> about it. | |||

Rcd. [received] 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. [1974 miscellaneous]) | |||
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. | |||
