1967  69th day - 296 days to come
 
----
From the newspaper I picked up at Fair yesterday clipped
an Ad for M.B. with descriptions of the following games:-
<u>KRESKIN'S ESP</u>, <u>SLAP STICK</u>, <u>FANG BANG</u>, <u>FEELEY MEELY</u>, <u>BATTLESHIP</u>.
(Filed in 1967 Ad clips)
 
Bob Abbott and Natelie Donna here for supper & evening.
Played Claude's <u>WATCH</u>. Showed Bob my <u>OPERATION SEARCH</u>
puzzle. He couldn't solve it but he liked it.
 
At 10 o'clock to I-S. Alice told me that her meeting
with Arnold Shapiro and Jim Goldenbury (or something
like that) was very encouraging. She thinks that
<u>RED LETTER</u> is practically in. I looked at the model and
the rules of <u>RALLY-TALLY</u>. It is attractive but only a
children's level game.
 
Bob Engels of Whitman came and he, Alice & I played
part of a game of <u>THE FIRST MILLION</u>. He said it
played well but that it was in the same field as their
<u>STOCK MARKET GAME</u>. They had been thinking of discon-
tinuing that game, but it does sell some 100,000 a
year. They will upgrade the quality but not change the rules.
He will send me a copy of the new version. They don't
wish to put another game of the same type out now.
He did say that <u>MAVERICK COUNTRY</u> and <u>FREE FOR ALL</u> were
liked by the initial committee. The former rcd. a partic-
ularly enthusiastic reaction from the woman who is
in charge of the committee. He said we'd have a pro-
gress report in about 3 weeks and indicated that at
least one would be accepted.
In answer to a <s>lett</s> question from Felicia he said that
their new policy is to pay from 2% to 2 1/2% royalties,
without a cut off.
In answer to my question he said they would be glad to
put my name on the box.
Played a very little of Connor Barrett's <u>CROSSINGS</u> and
he said to send it in. He wasn't interested in
<u>RALLY-TALLY</u>.
 
Walked to 200 5th Ave but Jules Cooper had just left for
lunch. To work and then called him up. He will call
and arrange a date for me to come over and see their
games and go to lunch.
 
Told Alice what Randy Barton said about sending
<u>GO SEE - A GLOBAL HOLIDAY</u> and I brought it to her to send.
Also spoke about card games but decided to send
<u>INFINITE PLANE</u> to "X" first.
Told Alice that <u>NILE</u> was the same (with minor variation)
at <u>SNAKE</u>. Alice said that "X" wasn't interested in buying out
Paul since the only game they liked was <u>WATCH</u>.
