Called <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> & told him that <u>Phil Orbanes</u> called me.  <br>
Called <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> & told him that <u>Phil Orbanes</u> called me.  <br>
Carl would like to do
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.
