Picked up <u>Felicia</u> at her office. She had a call from <u>Burt Huber</u>.<br> | |||
The models of <u>THE 31ST HEX</u> and <u>PUSHOVER</u> reached him.<br> | |||
Orders for the puzzle-games are coming in very well.<br> | |||
They have shipped the first production. As soon as the next <br> | |||
run is ready we will get our samples. <br> | |||
To Kohner in New Jersey. Meeting with <u>A. Stubbmann</u>, V.P.<br> | |||
Research & Development.<br> | |||
He kept <u>PAIR OFF</u> for testing. He is only interested in the<br> | |||
solitaire. He was interested in <u>OVER 'N OVER</u>, again only<br> | |||
the puzzle, but I wasn't able to come up with a solution.<br> | |||
Took it back with me to note a solution and make a new board<br> | |||
without the corner paths. <u>ECLIPSE</u>; again he wants a<br> | |||
solution. <u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u>; wants a simple ten minute<br> | |||
game for the "pop-o-matic" series (I believe he said the<br> | |||
patent has another 7 years to go). He spent some time going<br> | |||
over possibilities with me and I took it home with me to<br> | |||
work on it. The plastic pcs. that Hallmark made up were <br> | |||
attractive but he didn't care for the white dots in the center<br> | |||
of each unit - an added expense.<br> | |||
He didn't care for <u>TOTALLY--</u>, <u>TRAVELINE</u>, and <u>BREAKDOWN</u> and<br> | |||
I decided not to show him <u>IMPULSE</u>, <u>TRIPLE CROSS</u>, and <u>FREE FORM</u>.<br> | |||
Altho consideration is for 1975 he would like the things<br> | |||
back as soon as possible. In answer to Felicia's question<br> | |||
about royalties he said that will be negotiated after they<br> | |||
accept the idea. Only 4 things have been taken <s>for</s> from outside<br> | |||
in quite a few years. We signed a give-away disclosure<br> | |||
form which he said that General Foods insisted on. He also said<br> | |||
that no one had ever accused Kohner of stealing anything.<br> | |||
Drove Felicia to her apt. I took all of my models home as well<br> | |||
as Claude's <u>ECLIPSE</u>.<br> | |||
Called <u>Claude</u> to tell him about the <u>ECLIPSE</u> solution. He'll<br> | |||
have it for me next time we get together.<br> | |||
He saw a horse race game at Joblot called <u>AUCTION RACE</u>.<br> | |||
It sells for $2.00 and there were plenty of them there. | |||
