15 THURSDAY * NOVEMBER 1973
319TH DAY * 46 DAYS TO COME

Call from Felicia. She heard from a secretary at Kohner
that Mr. Frankel will see us sometime in December. Felicia will
show all four items (POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER, ECLIPSE, PAIR OFF,
and OVER 'N OVER) instead of just two.
She said that it would be helpful to S.P.I., since Brentano's is
selling their games if Dorothy Shapiro were to get a
subscription to S & T.
A new client - "The Young Group" with Mr. and Mrs. Young (he
was once a consultant at Parker) has a game called ALIMONY.
It is played on a MONOPOLY type board with a center portion
showing 10 steps to the courthouse. The object is to end up with
as much as possible of the property. There are small models
of the pieces of property, which are cute - but expensive.
She is thinking of submitting the game to Dynamic
Design (Parker wouldn't have anything to do with it). They now
have a 4-page disclosure form that has to be filled out.
Told Felicia about SPLIT.
When Owens-Illinois took MINEFIELD and the other item
Felicia asked for an advance of $1000 each. They didn't
give her an argument - but she still doesn't have the money.

2nd call from Felicia. She spoke to the Youngs and they
want to order a copy of SPLIT. Gave her the address.

Rcd. G & P (Nov. #19). Articles on FEUDAL, TIDDLYWINKS,
CHINESE CHESS, as well as the regular SCRABBLE, DIPLOMACY,
and GO. Games view covers THE GREAT GAME OF BRITAIN, AMBUSH,
BUCCANEER, and a book GO: A GUIDE TO THE GAME. Gyles
Brandreth mentions that ALICE IN WONDERLAND GAME (which is
also advertised in the issue) is his game. He gives rules
for THE LEXICOGRAPHER'S GAME, which is the same as
THE DICTIONARY GAME. In "Forum" a reader gives rules for
NOT A WORD, a variation of GHOSTS.

Called Claude to tell him that Kohner will see us in December. Not
in and left message with Richie.
Call from Bob Gellman while I was out and called him back at home.
