Alice called. Letter from X reporting on the sales of all the  <br>
game submitted by I-S.  <br>
They are playtesting : - <u>RED LETTER</u>, <u>CAPTURE THE CARGO</u>, <u>FORMATION</u>,  <br>
<u>PERCEPTION</u>.  <br>
The following are scheduled for their initial line  - <u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u>,  <br>
<u>COLOR CONFUSION</u>, <u>TRIPLE CROSS</u>, <u>STACK STICKS, DEDUCTION</u>.  <br>
The following are being returned : - <u>WHOZAT?</u> (Too indefinite.)  <br>
<u>PITFALL</u> (Like it, but don't want to go into such elaborate product at  <br>
present. May want to look at it again but don't feel it is fair to  <br>
hold it (!)). <u>PARTY POLITICS</u> (Started off interesting, but got  <br>
dull towards the end. Also it is too seasonal in interest.) [I reminded  <br>
Alice that we had agreed not to send it because of <u>NOMINATION</u>,  <br>
she said she was sorry.]  <br>
They are still considering <u>IMAGE</u> and <u>FUN-ALYSIS</u> (a hand-  <br>
writing analysis passtime rather than a game.)  <br>
There was no mention of <u>CINEMA</u> or <u>NOMINATION</u>. Alice is going to  <br>
write saying she assumes that they just forgot to mention them as  <br>
being in the initial line.  <br>
In the letter Arnold said that they are waiting for the go-ahead from  <br>
the top to start production. In the meantime they keep perfecting the  <br>
games. They, too, hope that it will start this year.  <br>
 
After work brought <u>INFINITE PLANE</u> to Alice. Also brought her her share 
of the 3M 4th quarter royalty. We decided to <s>try</s> try <u>TAKE A NUMBER</u>
on Champion Games. I'll try to finish it this coming weekend.
 
At home looked @ <u>ON SETS</u> and <u>TUE</u>.
 
Thinking of working up a set of deductive type <u>GAME</u>s  with the Wff'N'Proof
company in mind. If <u>CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN</u> folds, it will  <br>
be a good starting point.
