adult games just died - except for staples such as <u>DIPLOMACY</u>,<br> | |||
<u>GROUP THERAPY</u>, and <u>VECTOR</u>.<br> | |||
Gave <u>Bob Gellman</u> the list of magazines I compiled yesterday.<br> | |||
He said he'd send out the copies of ''<u>PATTON</u>'' and ''<u>HOLIDAY</u>'' by<br> | |||
the end of the week. Had someone there so didn't talk.<br> | |||
To [Illegible crossed out] "Gamut of Games". Showed <u>TOGETHERNESS</u>, <u>TANGLEWORD</u>,<br> | |||
and <u>THE WORM TURNS</u> to <u>Phil</u> and Nick. Played the first<br> | |||
with the 3 of us. All were favorably received. Left them<br> | |||
with Phil to show <u>Carl</u>.<br> | |||
Took the two games the Djoli took from <u>Pierre</u> for me:<br> | |||
<u>TILT</u> and <u>ECOPLAY</u> (not <u>ECOPLANY</u>). He had another French<br> | |||
game <u>MACADAM</u> which he bought to show Phil the type of <br> | |||
plastic used for the board. Had Phil run me a set of <br> | |||
the rules and recorded the equip't.<br> | |||
To <u>Felicia</u>. Robert Dorman, who has a very important position<br> | |||
with Mobil in charge of personal [personel?], was there with three<br> | |||
training games; three seperate boards, with common equip't.<br> | |||
<u>EXECUTIVE CORRIDORS</u>. Four play. Each one has about 7<br> | |||
different personel [personel?] such as "Sales Manager", "P.R.", <br> | |||
"Personal Manager". Each player in turn draws a "problem"<br> | |||
card and decides which man he will assign the problem to. The<br> | |||
back of the card gives a numerical value to the different<br> | |||
men on how <s>go</s> apt they would be to solve that problem.<br> | |||
This is keyed to sets of cards with different probabilities<br> | |||
of success - from 8 in 10 for the best man to 4 in<br> | |||
10 (I believe) for the worst. When a man solves a problem<br> | |||
he advances one step in his company. If not successful he stays put <br> | |||
and loses a stated sum. Each player must advance all<br> | |||
of his men to a certain level (three steps ahead - I believe)<br> | |||
and once a man has reached this level he cannot<br> | |||
be used again. After all players have all <s>place</s> their<br> | |||
men at this level new problems (or is it only one?) are<br> | |||
drawn from the presidential set. again the proper man<br> | |||
must be chosen, but (I believe) all use the same card.<br> | |||
Larger amounts of money are won or lost. Most money at<br> | |||
end wins. (Fairly complete idea.)<br> | |||
<u>CAREER PATHS</u>. There are 5 paths running around the<br> | |||
board with <s>the inside having</s> each inside one having 4 less<br> | |||
spaces than the next largest. Each player has 5 men. <br> | |||
