MONDAY 24 OCTOBER United Nations Day 1966 297th day - 68 days to come

Called Kaiser Industries. Talked to a man in public relations. He suggested writing but was not too excouraging. He name and address: R.E. Rhody Kaiser Aluminum 300 Park Ave. New York, N.Y. 10022

(P1 9-1100)

About the game FUTURE.

At lunch walked over to I/S. Picked up GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY & POTENTIAL (which she found).

She showed me a letter describing two mechanical games:-

  • MANNED ORBIT - magnetic game of orbitting a projectile around the moon without getting it caught by the moon's "gravity".
  • SCORE 64 - Getting magnetic pcs. into scoring spaces. 64 is particularly hard to attain.

Alice told me that Lakeside had bought out [crossed out]

  • TANTILIZER, the manipulating puzzle worked thru a mirror. They want to reduce the royalty to 2 1/2% and only thru 1968. If not they'll change the name and put it out anyway.

Claude, Arthur, Paul Millazzo and a number of his business associates (and a potential backer) here to see my game room. Arthur showed POWUR, and I played part of a game with him. (Was winning when we stopped.)

Claude showed LOA & WATCH.

I showed RED LETTER & GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY. (LOA, Red Letter & Go See - A Global Holiday were particularly popular.)

Later I showed Paul AIRLINE which he also liked.

Paul hopes to have a number of games ready for the Toy Fair next March, just a few prototype models. Of course every- thing depends on how CAMPAIGN and BIG FUNERAL do.

Paul is trying to interest some airlines in having games in their lounges and would like a game that would be appropriate. I told him about CORPORATION and he was interested.

Paul's lawyer thought that I could pretty easily get money from a foundation to do a scholarly book on games.

Paul was going to a Toy Fair in Atlanta this Thursday thru Monday. He asked if I wanted to go - he'd pay my expenses, but not my pay. Too short notice.

Claude has a new setup for WATCH as shown. The groups of similar tiles are as follows:- 4-4-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-1
