MONDAY 18 OCTOBER 1971
St. Luke, Evangelist
Alaska Day (Alaska)
291st day - 74 days to come
Finished SPELLBINDER cards.
Called Brentano's. Spoke to Henry Levy. He checked with Dorothy Shapiro and called me back. I'll be there on Nov. 1 and Nov. 3.
Felicia called. BALI royalties were half of last year's.
A V-P at First National City Bank has a money game based
on international finance (HIGH FINANCE or GOLD).
Arranged for me to meet him Wednesday when I bring in
SPELLBINDER.
M.B. sent him to her. They liked the game but are not sure
if they are staying in the adult game field. They have an
outside firm making an analysis and are awaiting this
before making a decision.
Told Felicia about the Adult Game Festival.
Earl Perel called and I'll visit him Wednesday. Claude also.
Arthur called. Someone he showed COUNTERBALANCE to several
years ago is still trying to sell it, using a picture
he had an artist draw up. Ned Strongen found out about
it from manufacturers he approached. He was angry with
Arthur till Arthur reminded him that he had told Ned that
he had at one time given the game to someone else for
a short time. Arthur thought the whole thing was funny.
Called Anne and she had Claude call me back. Checked on
our date for them to visit - Friday. Claude told me
of an ad he saw in the Sunday Times some weeks ago
for a series of word games called BRAIN DRAIN
for sale for $1.49 from

their X'Mas orders. She did suggest including a KALAH board.
Looked at LIBBERISH (© 1971 Harwell Assoc.) Another game where
one player draws an unusual word at random and reads it
off. Each of the other players then writes a phoney definition
for the word and pass them to the reader. The reader
then reads off all the definitions, including the correct
one given with the word. Scoring is as follows:
Picking the correct definition - 1 point.
Reader scores one point for each player who picks a phoney.
Composer of phoney definition scores 2 points for each player
choosing it.
Play until each player has two chances as reader.
