NEW YEAR'S EVE • 365TH DAY | NEW YEAR'S EVE • 365TH DAY | ||
---- | ---- | ||
<u>TIME</u> Magazine had a piece on <u>ANTI-MONOPOLY</u> (filed <br> | |||
in '73 Misc.) | |||
Sent card-letter to <u>Don Miller</u>. Mentioned <u>STRATEGY 1</u>, <br><u>PHALANX</u>, <u>DARK AGES</u>, <u>MOVES</u>, and <u>THE GAMESLETTER</u>. <br> | |||
Call from <u>Wald</u>. He'd like to get into NYGA meetings again. Told <br> | |||
flat board. They are still working on using the balancing board and if they come up with it | him that <u>Bob Abbott</u> offered his apartment. <br> | ||
At Toy Fair they will also be coming out with the games that N.Y.G.A came up with last year- BLUE CHIPS | Hasbro has closed down for 2 months for lack of plastic. But <br> | ||

for both <br> | |||
At Toy Fair they will also be coming out with the <br> | |||
games that N.Y.G.A came up with last year - <u>BLUE CHIPS</u> <br> | |||
<u>THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD</u> , etc. <br> | |||
Wald is working with <u>Wexler</u>, rather than <u>Strongin</u>. Wexler <br> | |||
has more imagination in preparing models than Strongin <br> | |||
does. Also Wexler seems to get along better with the <s>Aryan</s> <br> | |||
<s>arisin</s> Aryan companies, such as Panken and M.B. <br> | |||
Wald brought <u>THREE</u>, <u>LOTUS</u>, <u>DRAGON</u> and <u>AFRICAN CHESS</u> to <br> | |||
Wexler who made up some beautiful models for them (or <br> | |||
rather his artist did). He wants to call the latter <u>MANCALA</u>. <br> | |||
I asked and Wald said he was splitting 50-50 with Wexler. <br> | |||
When he asked about a better arrangement Wexler said he was <br> | |||
making up games of his own, so why should he push Wald's <br> | |||
if he doesn't make anything on them. Wald agreed. I told Wald <br> | |||
of what Wexler offered Claude. He thought it was ridiculous. <br> | |||
In starting a letter to <u>Allister Wm. Macintyre</u> I wanted <br> | |||
to <s>order</s> ask for his game <u>NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION</u> and decided <br> | |||
to look at <u>Loomis</u>' <u>NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION</u>. Went crazy trying <br> | to look at <u>Loomis</u>' <u>NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION</u>. Went crazy trying <br> | ||
