In my talk with <u>Phil Orbanes</u> he said that in <s>his</s> a talk with <br> | |||
<u>Carl Eisenberg</u> they estimated that the total earnings for 1973 for the 5<br> | |||
p & p games (<u>CHINESECHEK</u>, <u>WORDPLAY</u>, etc.) would be about $13,000,<br> | |||
between the two of us.<br> | |||
The premium operation seems to show great promise. It may soon<br> | |||
grow bigger than he can handle himself.<br> | |||
Phil would like to get Djoli out of the "Gamut of Games" management.<br> | |||
His ego just stops them from getting into the black. <u>Van Zedwitz</u><br> | |||
(spelling?) would like to get his money back. If Djoli is out then<br> | |||
"Gamut" will continue manufacturing their present games but<br> | |||
won't add any. Instead it will develop new products with<br> | |||

into it himself. | |||

color if possible. If not, rank can be followed. Winner of<br> | |||
trick leads to next. In case of following in rank, colors have<br> | |||
an order. When a lead can't be answered, the player <br> | |||
leading can turn over a card (solved the problem). Object to<br> | |||
turn over six. There is some provision for trading cards<br> | |||
when a player gets more than one the same. A player also<br> | |||
wins the "hand" if he gets $4,000,000 or more in his<br> | |||
tricks. In this connection, a $100,000 card becomes $1,000,000<br> | |||
if played in same trick with $900,000 of the same color. Felicia<br> | |||
