<u>Marilyn Nierenberg</u> here and spent most of day. I would get
$100 for preparing the crafts for photographing and I would have
to pretty much write the rules of the games and tell her every-
thing so that she could write it. Instead she called her boss and
got permission for me to be the "free-lance" writer. I'll get $350.
(I'll also get a set of the 24 volumes.)
<br>We came up with the following games to use - subject to change if I wish:
<br><u>MANCALA</u> - using egg carton, and lima beans.
<br><u>MILL</u> - using board drawn on cardboard, and large buttons.
<br><u>THE JUNGLE GAME</u> - using board drawn on cardboard, and
drawing of the animals to be copied.
<br><u>QUICK TRIP</u> - she liked the looks of the <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u>
board and I'll do an original travel game with a similar board.
<br><u>ANAGRAMS</u> - with tiles cut out of cardboard.
<br><u>LASCA</u> - with a woven board and poker chips for pieces.
<br><u>GO</u> - with cardboard board and small buttons.
<br>She left volume II as a sample (and I later discovered that Time-
Life wasn't mentioned at all) plus various other information.
For a color page at start we decided on showing the following
world-wide games: <u>HANAFUDA</u> cards (Japan), <u>CLACK: SI GIRA!</u> (Italy),
<u>AKTENZEICHEN XY UNGELÖST</u> (Germany), <u>Q-SETS</u> (Israel), <u>MANCALA</u> (Africa),
<u>LES PRESIDENTS DIRECTEURS GÉNÉRAUX</u> (France), <u>MASTER MIND</u> (England),
<u>ZMOTORYZOWANY TURYSTA</u> (Poland), <u>EENMAAL ANDERMAAL</u> (Holland),
<u>TRI-KING</u> (Variation of Indian game by Chinese-American); <u>ACQUIRE</u>
(U.S.A.)
<br>The set is called <u>THE FAMILY CREATIVE WORKSHOP</u>.
