Earlier in day
Earlier in day changed our date with the <u>Richter</u>s tomorrow.
 
Started thinking of a new version of <u>HOLEY TERROR</u> where the  <br>
holes are the same shape at all four levels.
 
[Illegible crossed out]  <u>Phil Orbanes</u> called during day. He was impressed  <br>
that <u>Bill Knox</u> offered me a 5% contract right off. Phil has been  <br>
dealing with him for two itwms but nothing is final yet.  <br>
Knox often says an item needs further work and wants  <br>
to reduce the royalty rate.  <br>
I suggested that half of the 25% of my royalties that  <br>
go to Infinity Quest be paid back to me in the form of  <br>
I-Q stock. Phil thought that was a very good idea.  <br>
Phil estimates that the royalties in <u>GROOVE</u> should be at  <br>
least $3,000 for me, and $1,000 for I-Q next year. And  <br>
it should continue indefinitely. Mag-Nif has not dropped  <br>
an item yet. Their poorest sellers still do at least  <br>
65,000 a year.

exact tie. The situation came up when a player could  <br>
not make a type (c) move. However if he first bought a  <br>
certificate, then he could. To avoid difficulty, decided to  <br>
change the rule to allow a player when he wishes to draw 3  <br>
cards from the deck and then shuffles 3 cards from his  <br>
hand back into the deck.  <br>
Pierre told me about a French puzzle expert living in London.  <br>
{<u>Mr. Bloncourt</u>  <br>
{35 Arlington Rd.  <br>
{London NW1  <br>
{(387-4141)  <br>
Pierre got together with him earlier this week and, altho  <br>
Bloncourt couldn't arrange to meet me at this time, he  <br>
would like to meet me. Pierre suggested that I call him  <br>
in London and I said I'd try.  <br>
Made a list of things to send to Pierre:  <br>
Name of the English trade magazine for toys and games.  <br>
Back numbers of ''<u>S & T</u>'' - #1 to #25 and put in a subscription  <br>
starting with #29, and bill him.  <br>
My games - at least rules and descriptions of the parts.  <br>
Rules of <u>DIPLOMACY</u> - which he learned about in ''<u>S & T</u>'' for the 1st time.
