<u>1944</u>, <u>HANNIBAL</u>, and <u>STARLORD</u>.<br>
Also mentioned are revised rules for <u>MIDGARD III</u>.<br>
Called <u>Claude</u> and told him about <u>ECLIPSE</u>. He can cut the <br>
number of overlays by putting two circle[s] on a single sheet.<br>
He'll work on it.<br>
He has an idea for a game in <u>DIABOLIQUE</u>. The 2 players divide<br>
the numbers. Take turns placing one on the board. Can only<br>
place a tile that completes a row if it makes the row add<br>
up to the chosen key number. If can't play, draw tiles from<br>
opponent until can. (I didn't like this feature at all.)<br>
The Book of the Month mailing included a sheet of gifts that <br>
could be obtained with book-dividend credits. Among others<br>
included a <u>CHESS</u> set with pcs. that fit together into a cube,<br>
<u>THE PETER PRINCIPLE GAME</u>, <u>TRIPPPLES</u>, and <u>THE WINNING TOUCH</u>.<br>

When I saw <u>Phil Orbanes</u> today he said the "Gamut" game that<br>
is moving off the shelf best is <u>INFINITY</u>, altho the store<br>
buyers didn't order it as well as the others. <u>MONTAGE</u> is not<br>
moving well. <u>MY WORD!</u> also is not doing well and may be<br>
dropped. He expects that about 13,000 copies of <u>REALM</u> will<br>
be sold, and about 15,000 of <u>CARTEL</u>, this year.<br>
Took a plastic "Lily Cup" from his office.<br>
He called in evening to say our Hoi Polloi check in next few days - over $800.00.
