I ordered a copy of <u>THE STUDY OF GAMES</u>. $9.95 plus postage <br> | |||
and tax. Pay after I get it. | |||
Called <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> & told him that <u>Phil Orbanes</u> called me. <br> | |||
Carl would like to do <u>TORTURE TOWER</u> and thinks it would sell. <br> | |||
But <u>Bob Reiss</u> doesn't want to handle it and for the present <br> | |||
Carl is completely dependent on him. <br> | |||
I told him about <u>HOLEY TERROR</u> and I'll bring it in Wednesday. <br> | |||
Even if Carl likes it he won't be able to do it this <br> | |||
year but it would be for 1972. This year he is doing two more <br> | |||
things connected with <u>AQUARIUS 2000</u>, one called <br> | |||
<u>DREAM MASTER</u> and the other I don't remember. He also will <br> | |||
probably do Phil's <u>PRIX</u>. | |||
Doing some more thinking on <u>LOTTERY</u>, also on a theme for <br> | |||
<u>BAZAAR</u> in the new packaging. | |||
Played two games of <u>SPELLBINDER</u> with BB using the minute <br> | |||
timer from the original <u>TUF</u> game. I'll pack it with it since I <br> | |||
have 1 minute timers in the A.H. <u>TUF</u> and <u>TUFABET</u> games. The <br> | |||
game played beautifully and was highly competative. Worked <br> | |||
out a solitaire which BB tried and then I did. It also <br> | |||
worked very well. <br> | |||
Added 3 more length cards which seemed to be about right. <br> | |||
Thinking about a version with turns lasting 1 minute each. | |||
<u>Claude</u> called. He saw a card <u>GAME</u> advertised by 7-UP in <br> | |||
''Ebony'' Magazine. It is racially otiented and has rules <br> | |||
for 3 solitaires. Claude will save the clipping for me. <br> | |||
He has a clipping in his files about a <s>gam</s> toy inventor who <br> | |||
takes his earnings as capital gains. Told Claude about my <br> | |||
checking with a number of accountants. <br> | |||
I told Claude about my new idea for <u>SPELLBINDER</u>. He told me to <br> | |||
by all means submit it to Hallmark. I told him to also submit <br> | |||
<u>THE PURLOINED LETTER</u>. He still has to work on it and when he is <br> | |||
finished he'll hold off until <u>SPELLBINDER</u>'s status is clear. | |||
