Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She wonders if <u>Dick Harris</u> is going to Parker.
She'll try to find out from <u>Andrea Green</u>.
<br>At Rappaport's she saw that it was Ideal, M.B., and P. - particularly
<u>PAYDAY</u> - that moved. One customer specifically asked for
<u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> and there weren't any. We must drive to
A.H. to talk to them about their distribution.
<br>Rcd. a gift of cheeses and jellies from <u>Phil Orbanes</u> - by mail.
<br>Rcd. rules and a clear picture of the board and other equipt.
for the game <u>OLIGOPOLY</u>. Also a rather formal letter from
<u>Robert Williamson</u>, <u>Gene Harmon</u>'s partner in the game.
<br>Thinking that since <u>PINBALL</u> seems to be the most popular game in
<u>BEYOND SOLITAIRE</u>, a book with 6 different types of "Pinball" games
might be a hit. Possible name - <u>BEYOND PINBALL</u>.
<br>Thinking of <u>THE RIGHT WORD</u>. To make it more competitive, a player can
take away a letter from another player by passing thru the letter
with his marker. This could be any letter the player taking it away
wishes. To stop it from being too easy, a certain length of word could
be req'd. Another possibility: the letter that a marker is on when
the opponent passes thru is taken <s>if the</s> away if the player has
it. Also if the moving player doesn't have it, he can claim that letter.
<br>For scoring use a track with pegs - going around the "Red Letters".
Bonuses, at ten points each, are entered <s>behind</s> on the same track,
and must always stay behind. Probably best to leave the top "Red
Letter" value at 25.
<br>To save money on the scoring tracks, it might be better to limit
game to 4 players. A player who didn't like his color could then
have an option of changing to one of those unsused.
<br>Thinking about 3-hand <u>PEACE CONFERENCE</u> and the problem of 12/20.
Probably best idea would be to have one player look at the top
card of the fourth and, as in two-hand. After each hand of 6
cards is completed, this player rotates to the left.
<br>visit from Audrey & <u>Ronnie Corn</u>. Ronnie forgot to bring the repro
of the rules for <u>NUMERICAL SPREE</u> (see 12/4) but told him that I
have them. He looked thru the Pelikan rules I had and I gave
him the duplicate I had of <u>MOULIN ROUGE</u>. He asked for repros of
<u>ARMADA</u> and <u>DIAMANT</u>.
He brought me an ad sheet for "Fairchild Video Entertainment System
Among others, there is a game <u>DESERT FOX</u>, and <u>VIDEO BLACKJACK</u>.
They also say there will be more cartridges coming.
He saw a copy of the P. game like <u>TOURING</u>, but based on airplanes at
a flea market for $13.00, but didn't buy it.
<br>Ronnie and I played <u>WIRE TAP</u>, using the rules that a whole row or
column could be asked. At first Ronnie thought it would be impossible -
but then he liked it. I won 16 to 14.
<br>Ronnie said that Jordan loved <u>FUN CITY</u>.
<br>Ronnie bought copies of <u>FOUR SIGHT</u>, which he finds very difficult
