DECEMBER 1974 - WEDNESDAY 11 
345TH DAY - 20 DAYS TO COME
----
Call from Claude. HASBRO seems to like Wald's "Rip-Off"
GAME but is in no hurry about setting up dates. Wald asked
Claude's permission to try for a royalty on it instead of the 
extra $3,000, if they take it. Yes.
 I said that I haven't seen the HASBRO games around, but
Claude said that he had, in places like Gertz, etc. Also they
tell him that the games are selling well.
 Made tentative date for 11/20 for Claude, Anne, and Mary Ellen 
to come here.

Call from Fabio Coen. It looks like they will be doing
THE ART OF GAMES. Date next Monday at 10 to discuss it.

Letter from Walter Haas. He is sending me (at the same time 
as this letter) an envelope with info on the following: POLYRAMA,
LES INDIENS ET LES TRAPPEURS, LA BRECHE, LE TONKIN,
OL FUR UNS ALLE, HALLO BOSS, BIG BOSS, MIRROR MANIA, TRADE,
NEUNZEHN AUF EINEM BRETT, AVALANCHE, ROUE-MAIN, TRICK 13,
LINGUA, PROVOPOLI, BORSE, COMBINATO, MAXO-MINO, BLOCKADE,
SINGLE WORT WEXEL, WORDL, CANYON, ATTACKE, CRISTALLO,
PHALANX. Also mentions: SPECTRUM, PSYCHOGRAM, [ILLEGIBLE STRIKEOUT]
CONTACTIC, FALLE, MONTE CARLO, WORT WIRBEL, FORMILO,
WORTER-LOTTO, ABC-DOMINO, XENOPHON, HOPS, ORAKEL, IMURI, TROKE,
BORSENSPIEL, HI-SPOT, RACKO, LASKA.

Rcd. holiday cards from: "Gamut of Games" - not signed; Felicia;
Mary Hilt.

Dale's Phil brought me another repro of the MONEY article
I got on 12/5.

Called Claude in evening about the date on 11/20 (Dana will be
using car then). They have something else and we set it for
