<br>At first she said what good is it to be reviewed in <u>S&T</u> <s>and</s>
but, after I told her that some readers are interested in all games,
she asked me to review <u>BALI</u>. Told her sure, just have them send
me a copy.
<br>She is seeing <u>Dick Harris</u> in a week or so. She has something
that another company is interested in <s>by</s> but she'd rather
have it with M.B. She'll also shoe him a cute puzzle-game
by the <u>Scotts</u> that Western is interested in. Se
doesn't want to have too much with Western.
<br>Told her I was working on the article for <u>DAISY</u> Mag. [magazine] She'd
like to have it when the gal gets back from a month's vacation.
She is on retainer with the mag.
<br>Asked her if <u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u> model came back from Gabriel.
She thinks so.
<br>She hears that <u>Harold Frankel</u>, after being fired from Kohner,
got a job with a toy company - but is now looking again.
Wrote rules for <u>DARN CLEVER</u>.
Called up main Bronx P.O. for info on mailing material to Germany.
He gave me a lot of info. [information] When I asked, he said he'd sent me a
folder on oversea air mail.
When BB read the rules for <u>DARN CLEVER</u> she didn't like the
scoring versions. I pointed out that she preferred a more casual
game, while I prefer a more structured game. She wanted to
play the 2-hand version with scoring before typing the rules.
We played to 30 points and it took 5 rounds. BB won after
I was ahead all the way.
<br>When I wrote up the multiple player scoring version I had (-)
scores for the players and (+) score for the "Informant" - the
number of cards taken from the deck. By giving the "Informant"
a score for the number of cards remaining in the deck I can
get rid of the signs. Player with lowest total score wins.
