134th day - 232 days to come

Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim. He says that if I can sell MUSKETEERS I can keep half. He has a suggested change and thinks that it needs further work. (If I do some work on it I am entitled to some cut - but not half.)

Wrote a card to Jerry D'Arcey suggesting that we get to- gether on our terms for BLUFF & TOTALLY-- (provided the latter is accepted.

Wrote a card to Mike Abrams suggesting that he get some books with arithmetic games to get ideas to use on the computer.

Worked out the changes in the rules for TEMPO & INTERPLAY. Wrote a covering letter saying that I couldn't supply any info on SOMA other than that in Martin's book.

Was working on the plastic overlay for STATEMENT but gave up because the plastic was too thick and didn't lay flat. I have to get the thinnest they have.

Finished all the equipment for WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? except filling in the denominations on some money.

Jim Dunnigan called. He apologized for not calling last Thursday but thought it was a good idea that I spoke to Ira Lubow. He & Phil signed the contract with Renwal. Renwal wants to publish [cross out] games the same as publishers publish books. I brought up the 3M line. Jim said they were fiction and Renwal would go in for non-fiction.
He and Phil will visit me in June and they definitely want to play AIRLINE. I asked Jim about getting a copy of BATTLE OF BRITAIN wholesale and he said he'd give me one as soon as he got some copies.
Various "brain" company workers have been sending games to Renwal but they are rather abstract. One he saw was a space GAME.
