TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER 1971
299th day - 66 days to come

Call from Phil Orbanes. Bill Knox will probably be in Friday
of this week. I told Phil I'd definately have HOLEY TERROR
ready to show him and, if at all possible, HABITAT (I
didn't actually call them by name).
When Knox comes in Phil will check with him on a contract
for GROOVE and for another PUZZLE that Phil did.
Told Phil that Jim gave me THE NEXT PRESIDENT but I only had
a chance to glance at it. I said there seemed to be a
resemblance to 3M's MR. PRESIDENT. The only one that Phil
was familiar with was the original card game, never having
seen the bookshelf version. I told him that I would compare the
games after getting a copy of the latest
MR. PRESIDENT from 3M (Jack Davis). Phil suggested that the two of us rework CONGLOMERATES and
INFINITY, with my sharing in any future royalties. I
said that the latter needs further work, but that the
former was great just as it is. Phil said that when he
submitted CONGLOMERATES to A.H. the test panel liked it,
but suggested that more interaction between players be provided.
For INFINITY Phil wants to come up with a board other
than a square grid. I agreed.
Phil has an informal agreement with Carl Eisenberg
giving him a one year option on CONGLOMERATES.
Carl Eisenberg is putting out Phil's DREAM MASTER and
AQUARIUS 2 which will sell for $7. He is holding up on
PRIX since Bob Reiss is not sure whether a gambling game
will go.
