Played <u>OVER 'N OVER</u>
Played <u>OVER 'N OVER</u> with <u>Al Richter u</u>. He won the first game. Then<br>
I won three.<br>
Gave Al his puzzle <u>SIX BEADS</u> and his <u>QUADRUME</u> and<br>
<u>TRY-ANGLES</u>.<br>
 
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>
Hoi Polloi getting first refusal rights. Carl, Phil thinks, will<br>
have an interest in getting "Gamut" going - since he might move <br>
into it himself.

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>
has interested International Paper Co. in using the game for<br>
promotional purposes. They are ready to come out with another<br>
