is ANTI-MONOPOLY

Called Phil Orbanes. He needs the rules of the games early next week. I suggested my going there Tuesday but he is busy then. Made it Monday at 1.

I asked about REALM and he said that it could wait awhile.

Felicia in her call, said that we'll get an answer on HONORABLE RELATIONS in a week or so.

Tried to call Phyllis Melhado at Pierce Promotions about review copies of EVENTS and CONTIGO. No answer at all. Spoke to Claude and told him about Monday at S.P.I. He checked with Wald. O.k.

At the start each player gets 2 title cards, 1 object card (or it might be the other way), and $1,000,000. Move around a track by throw of two dice; may move in either direction, with double may move one or both dice. When land on "O" take an object card from deck, all players seeing what it is. When land on "T" can buy a title card - secret - for $200,000. When land on "rip-off" space throw again and if can land on opponent, steal one of his object cards - secret.

You can then stop or say you'll take him to court. He can then give you the object or say "take me to court." If the latter you both put a chip of your color in an off-track space marked "court." If you don't have a title card you pay him $100,000/ If you do, you show it. If he also has a title card he shows it and again you pay $100,000. After you show your title card and he doesn't
