APRIL 1974 - THURSDAY 25
ST. MARK, EVANGELIST - 115TH DAY - 250 DAYS TO COME

Letter from Haar Hoolim. Sent me new rules for STACK-UP
and a copy of his letter to Or-Da. In his letter to me he
mentions that "Roylon [illegible strikeout] Inc." will be putting out the six
Or-Da games in the U.S.A. TAKE BALL TAKE ALL will be one of
them probably. What he said was SHESH BESH is actually called
CHESS BESH and it is nothing new. Mentions TURNOVER PUZZLE
(CROSSOVER PUZZLE) and a possible game with the same equipment.
Mentions G&P and BARRICADE and TAU.
Letter from Tom Atwater, or rather a note. Mentioned
SLIPPED DISC and SLIP DISC (Mattel). He'll be in at Stationary
Show. Sent check for $4.60 (1st quarter TEMPO, etc.)

Letter from Hayward Cirker of Dover inquiring about AGOG.

Returned ECLIPSE to Claude during our date.

(cont. from 4/23) [4/24]

We talked for about an hour and a half about a lot lot of
different subjects. He showed me a presentation book
by [bracket drawing] "The New Product Co."
[bracket drawing] 49 Brandywine Road
[bracket drawing] Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J. 07423
[bracket drawing] (201) 445-1857.
It is a series of games
called "Premium World Games"
packaged in a very simple
"Bookshelf" package - two
hollowed out plastic halves
that hinge together. A great many games were shown,
starting with very young children's and working up to adult.
Almost all seemed to be standards [illegible strikeout], some under
different names. Two I couldn't recognize were ESPIONAGE and
COMPULSION, and there were others.
Harold said that it is an English outfit and they are looking
for someone to put out the line in the U.S. I told Harold
what some of the games were and said that when they get the
actual games I would be glad to look at them and identify
them if I can. he said that if they had me do this it would
be on a consultation basis. I thanked him - but said that I'd
still like to look at the games even if they don't want me as a
consultant.
I asked about SIDETRACK and it is still not in production.
Harold showed me a report on the game business that had
been prepared for a book company that had considered going
into the business. It looked as if they were just slicing the
baloney in different ways. Harold loaned it to me to look at
in more detail. Incidentally Harold agreed with my opinion.

To R.G.I. and went over the MACARTHUR maps. Rick Lewis added
the LL but kept the H, making it "LLHAGEN." Told Art Burnstein.
Met Bill Garrity in the elevator and spoke a few minutes.

At Felicias took copy of HIJACKED that Alan Newman
