The spaces have different colors and there <br>
is a die with matching colored spaces. Each <br>
player has colored pcs. that can stack. Players in turn <br>
throw the die and place one of their pcs. in <s>th</s> a space <br>
of that color. Pieces can be on top of other pcs., except that  <br>
if a player gets two of his pcs. one on top of the other  <br>
an opponent cannot place on that stack. Object to get five <br>
in a row in any direction. Penalty for "tilting" the board. <br>
(Rough idea.) <br>
He showed me his <u>DON'T SHIFT THE GEARS</u>. Two pcs. of plexiglass <br>
are mounted vertically with space between. A number <br>
of pegs pass thru holes in the two pcs. A series of <br>
gears of different sizes are placed in the hollow so that <br>
they are held above the bottom by the pegs and by  <br>
interlocking teeth. Players in turn withdraw pegs trying to <br>
avoid gears falling to the bottom. (Rough idea.) <br>
<u>Jerry D'Arcey</u> is not doing well at all with his royalties, last <br>
year and this. Frank doesn't know what Jerry is working <br>
on now. I suggested that the time might be right for  <br>
<u>PROGRAMMIT</u> now. Frank will remind him about it, altho <br>
Jerry only has a piece of it. <br>
<u>Frank</u> has an option from Hallmark for <u>TOTEM</u>. They offered <br>
him either $500 for 2 years or $250 for 1 year. He took the <br>
latter. Last time he spoke to them by phone, a month or <br>
so ago, they still hadn't tooled up for anything. <br>
When Frank saw <u>Bill Garrity</u> at Schaper he tried to find <br>
out about <u>SHAKE-A-LEG</u> (see 1971) but Garrity said he didn't <br>
know anything about it. <br>
