MONDAY 17 APRIL 1967 107th day - 258 days to come

Jim Lynch called. Paul Milazzo wants to sell CAMPAIGN to raise
money to promote WATCH and other games using vinyl on vinyl.
Asked who too see at Bradley. I suggested Mel Taft. Jim also
asked for other possible companies. I mentioned S & R and 3M.

Brought 3 copies of new presentation (ran off reproductions)
and 2 of the old for TREASURE HUNT to Fay. She said to
concentrate on TREASURE HUNT and not to worry about the
further games for the present.

Finally got Jules Cooper in. He Wwas just wrapping up the
rules for ELLERY QUEEN'S CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN. They
will only use the basic game with passing of files.
He told me about MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. There are
12 spies and two detectives moved around a board of a train
with compartments & passages. At the end of each move
series of moves by all the players the position of all the
pieces is noted by all the players. A spy who comes into
a place where another spy had been murders him, unless a
detective is present or the second spy has been killed himself.
Players score by figuring out who is killed by whom. The
evaluation is made after 8 moves (hours) and is played
for 1 day. He was interested in my reaction to the game . The
three detective games will be coming out towards the beginning
of June and he will send me copies. He also promised me
a copy of NFL ALL PRO FOOTBALL GAME which will be coming out
sooner.He wants, he says, to get together soon.

Alice called to check of how PAYOFF went. Told her it went well.
