At "Statesman's Club" got repros [reproductions] of rules for <u>MATH MAKER</u> (see 12/22/77) | |||
Called about <u>THE OPTION GAME BOARD</u> (see 12/30/77). Answering service | |||
took my number; I said I was a writer. | |||
To see <u>John Stephenson</u> at Games Gallery. He is thinking of closing the | |||
west side store, since the east side is doing much better. B&N [Barnes & Noble] has hurt | |||
them and has killed Brentano's. | |||
<br>I asked if I could get games from him wholesale as he once offered. O.K. - | |||
Since I had done favors for him - but he thought that I of all people should | |||
want to buy games. Told him that reviewers <s>don't</s> get out of the habit of buying. | |||
Bought <u>THE GREAT CANADIAN PIE</u> for $5. Thinking of buying <u>GUERILLA</u> (Philmar) | |||
- also $5 - but had too much to carry. | |||
<br>Took copy of his '77-'78 [1977-1988] catalog. Lists <u>CHESS CHALLENGER</u>, <u>SPHINX</u>, <u>SHOGUN</u>, | |||
<u>RAIL BARON</u>, <u>A MUSIC GAME</u>, <u>EQUALS</u>, <u>THE COLLECTOR</u>, <u>OLYMPIAD</u>, <u>NEW YORK SCENE</u>, | |||

Games), <u>PATHFINDER</u>, <u>GO</u>, <u>DUELL</u>, <u>MILL</u>, <u>THE FAIRCHILD VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM</u>. | |||
<br>Told John that I have been getting some requests for <u>AGOG</u> and asked if he'd | |||
like to have people order it from him. O.K., if I let him know where to order it. | |||
His price will depend on what they charge him. | |||
<br>Saw <u>CLOBBER</u> (House of Games) - he said it was a children's game similar to | |||
<u>PARCHEESI</u>. Saw <u>QUADS</u> (by an independent, I don't remember who). Not much | |||
info on the shrink wrapped box. He said it was a 4-hand <u>CHECKERS</u>. | |||
At <u>GAMES</u> Laura (I believe) told me that <u>Bernie DeKoven</u> had sent in a | |||
review of <u>EPAMINONDAS</u>, but they are overloaded with game reviews. | |||
