<br>The takeover of D.D.I. is definite. It will be handled as a
separate entity under National Paragon with the existing
management. <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> will have little or nothing to do
with it.
<br>Hoi Polloi is expanding. They are setting up a factory in this
country for assembling games, etc. They are setting up
a factory in Puerto Rico for producing wood products.
<br>They are looking for wood items to use their new
factory. They want things to sell between $1 and $5.
They want things that consist of cut pcs. [pieces] - a maximum
of 24 - that can be tumble finished. They can be silk
screened with a maximum of 3 colors.
<br>Phil has sold them two items. <s>One is a</s> Both are
manipulative <u>PUZZLES</u>. One called <u>RUNNER UP</u> is an
inclined plane with a ball to run up it. The other is a spiral
incline with a ball to run up it. He is getting $500 each
for these (or rather "Gamut of Games" is). He considers it as
a "finder's fee" for things that are in the public domain.
If he comes up with an original concept he will expect royalties.
(Later learned that these were plastic - not wood.)
<br>He is working on a <u>GAME</u> using 24 pcs. [pieces] as shown [box with an "X" in it], with
all possible combinations of 3 colors. Another idea is a
<u>STRATEGO</u> type <s>game</s> <u>GAME</u> without a board.
<br>I told him about <u>THE WORM TURNS</u> and he thinks it
would be suitable.
