30 MONDAY - DECEMBER 1974 364TH DAY - 1 DAY TO COME

Call from Felicia. She asked me which games Alex Randolph
did. TWIXT, BREAKTHRU, (I forgot OH-WAH-REE, SQUARE OFF, and MOEBIES in this country.
She asked the name of my game at Ravensburg. HIT THE JACKPOT.
She said that Brentano's reports that games were fantastic.
Rappaports also did well.
The best game is ANTI-MONOPOLY and MONOPOLY stays strong.
The big M.B. games (PRIZE PROPERTY and KING OIL?) didn't do
well.
Irving Kosoff, of Brentanos, suggested to Hallmark that they
do a BACKGAMMON game for the High School crowd. (???)
She said she'd fight for my games with Hallmark and that
hopefully '75 will be a good year.

Call from Anne Soucie. Mary Ellen left the VENTURE rules with
Anne and I took her address so that I can send a set to her.
Mrs. Lloyd Waithe, 2300 Franklin Ave. E, Apt. 307, Minneapolis,
Minn.55406.
Claude saw HASBRO today. They thought RAZZLE DAZZLE was a
good game - but not for them. They liked Wald's GAME
very much, but are thinking of putting it into a different line
instead of the "Rip-Off" line. (??)
The Rothman's want to have a gathering at their place during
Betty's intersession. Tentative for 1/31/75.

About 2 A.M. called Jerry D'Arcey. Not in but spoke to Richard.
Told him that we were leaving on 1/10/75 for Rome. Richard
said that Jerry and probably Alice too, are leaving N.Y.
before then. I invited them to stay here.
