of theirs I exhibited
of theirs I exhibited at Xerox. I'll go there Thursday to  <br>
get review copies of the new games. // Took catalog.  <br>
Met <u>Gini Scott</u> and made a date for supper here tomorrow. She  <br>
would like a copy of <u>SLEUTH</u> and I told her I'd try to get one for her.  <br>
he has 12 games coming out with a new company, whose name  <br>
she can't tell me. But when they come out this summer she'll see that  <br>
I get copies (but she'll be travelling all summer). Not all of the  <br>
games are original but she'll get royalties on the traditional ones too.  <br>
Met <u>Phil Orbanes</u> and then we went to see <u>Bill Knox</u> at the Reiss  <br>
exhibit. He said that he will be doing <u>GROOVE</u> to come out next January.  <br>
He'll send a contract. Also he'll send back my <u>HOLEY TERROR</u> and Phil's  <br>
<u>PYRAMID PUZZLE</u>.  <br>
(Eventually) took 3 copies of the Mag-Nif folder. New are : - <u>REX</u>,  <br>
a variation of <u>3D TIC TAC TOE</u>. place the 27 boards one at a time.  <br>
Score one point for each straight line of 3. Also1 point for each  <br>
triangle using 3 pegs in the same position, either in one level or  <br>
tilted; <u>TORUS</u> in the folder (called <u>TORRIS</u> on box); <u>RUNNING WILD</u>  <br>
(a novelty); <u>THIRD DIMENSION</u> and <u>TUT'S TOMB</u> (Assembly puzzles);  <br>
<u>DROP OUT</u> ($1.25 version of <u>LABYRINTH</u>; <u>SCORE 3</u> (2 hand game).  <br>
Met <u>Dorothy Shapiro</u> and <u>Henry Levy</u> a moment at Reiss.  <br>
To American Greetings. There were prototypes for 10 games displayed  <br>
but no one there who could tell me about them. The ones to see are  <br>
Morry Weiss or David gamble. Got an add sheet with the following : -  <br>
<u>DEADLOCK</u>, <u>LINKUP</u>, <u>CONTROLLING INTEREST</u>, <u>CHESS N' CHECKERS</u>, <u>POUNCE</u>,  <br>
<u>FAIR SHAKE</u>, <u>BROKEN ENGLISH</u>, <u>UPON-MY-WORD</u>, <u>DE-TOUR</u>, <u>NIX</u>. <br>
Back to R.G.I. <u>Bob Gellman</u> said that Doubleday is starting a  <br>
mail-order service in games. They are including <u>MOVIE MOGULS</u> and will  <br>
probably include <u>HOLIDAY</u> when it is ready. They have a mailing list of 1,000,000.  <br>
To G & R. Told them all the games of theirs I exhibited at Xerox and they  <br>
were pleased. Their new things didn't look too interesting and I'll look at  <br>
them some other time. <u>Frank Armbruster</u> is not coming in.
