Call from <u>Wald</u> with his new address: {<u>Wald Amberstone</u> [address]
<br>As Claude told me, Wald has
rcd. $4,000 for his <u>GAME</u> with
the safe cracking gadget and the
final acceptance is waiting on
their attempts to renegotiate with Jerry Lewis. Wald said that he
made some of the changes I suggester and it's a "great game" now.
<u>Howard Wexler</u> came up and Wald said that Howard told him that
sometimes the royalties from a number of his games is enough to buy
one good dinner.
Wald wants to get together a package of games for Howard to try to
place. I told him that Howard had said that he can turn out games
himself, and doesn't need us. Wald said that he can't turn out com-
plex games like <u>POWER BROKER</u>, etc.
The fellow from Hasbro who is replacing <u>John Lawless</u> (didn't get around
to asking whether Claude had given me his name correctly) is very
pleasant.
Wald wants to get together and I said I am busy thru 10/18.
<br>Rcd. a copy of <u>CONCEAL</u>.
<br>Rcd. an envelope <s>for</s> from <u>Walter Luc Haas</u>. Repros of rules for
<u>LEVELER CHESS!</u> (With a card from "Chess & Games Unlimited" -
"World's Largest Game Store" - 10868 W. Pico Blvd., West Los
Angeles, CA.). Also a repro of rules, board, etc. for
<u>IMPERIALISM</u> (Which I reviewed in <u>S&T</u> &#35; 46).
<br>Rcd. a second copy of the booklet <u>EN GARDE!</u> (Game Designer's Workshop.)
The game <u>LEVELER CHESS</u> is also called <u>TERRANOVAN LEVELER CHESS</u>.
<br>From the <u>Horn</u>s got a package from "Skytrex Ltd." that they
had picked up while we were in Conn. [Connecticut] Had a note from
<u>John Walker</u> and the following games: <u>KINGDOMS</u>, <u>TRIREME</u>,
<u>SEA STRIKE</u>, and<u>ROMAN CIRCUS CHARIOT RACING</u>. Also a catalog for
