Rcd. <u>PLAYTHINGS</u> (Dec.). Ad for <u>AMAZE</u>/ Article on <u>Mike Kohner</u> and
"Barbapapa." Article on <u>KEEP QUIET</u>. Article on <u>MONOPOLY</u> championship.
Classified ads for someone to manufacture <u>POPULATION</u> and a "unique line."
<br>Rcd. X'Mas card from <u>Paul Greenough</u>. Nothing on games.
<br>Dreamt up a new idea for <u>HAUNTED HOUSE</u>. Players move thru their
open passages, and then to an adjacent room that has a dif-
ferent number from any presently circled. Decided to call
it <u>SEARCH</u>.
<br>Playing around with different ideas for <u>ROUND 'N' ROUND</u> by my-
self and in the evening with BB. Finally decided that the best
was to put a line of 6 cards (less at end of deck) and then leave
one in place when new cards are dealt.
<br>Played <u>SEARCH</u> with BB. She liked it better, but still not great.
Played a game of <u>PEACE CONFERENCE</u>.
<br>BB was afraid that a lot of companies, including possibly even
Ideal, had seen <u>RED LETTER</u>. Checked and it was only Hallmark
and two small companies, no longer in games.
<br>Call from <u>Bob Gellman</u> with some questions on <u>PARCHISI</u>.
<br>Call from <u>Claude</u>. Wanted some info on his game <u>SUCCESS</u>. Maybe
We'll play Sat. Looked it up and had it for him when he called
from work.
