Letter from Bill Dohrmann about BAZAAR.

Lunch visit by Phil Orbanes. He returned WIRETAP and THE RIGHT WORD. The former is dead. The latter is a definite possibility for '79 [1979]. Two things that would make it more acceptable. A better way of recording letters that have been earned - something built into the frame that can be moved; continuing the game after a player has picked up his 2nd 25 point letter - possibly giving him a bonus and continuing for a set number of additional rounds. There was some extra material that Phil had had made up in the box for THE RIGHT WORD
Told Phil that I had sent THE 6 PACK OF PAPER & PENCIL GAMES to France for consideration, and I'll keep him posted if anything comes of it.
Phil is working on a trading GAME, different from WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? or COLLECTOR'S CHOICE as we once called it. Jules Cooper wants a secret objective that each player is working towards. He asked if I had any games that might give him ideas. Showed him HAGGLE (Stelladar). He said that when he was working at "Gamut" Gini Scott had presented a game she called HAGGLE which was almost the same - except that the values of the objects are given to the players on a card.
Phil asked if I had a game HORSE TRADER by Springbok. Never heard of it. He said that it had something to do with putting together jigsaw puzzles of horses behind a screen - and trading pcs. [pieces]
