WEDNESDAY 11 OCTOBER 1967
284th day - 81 days to come
Alice called. PAYOFF came back from Parker.
Bought a India Ink fountain pen for $5, to use as the for
game equipment.
Called Jules Cooper. Told him about our discussion over the
rules for MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. His answer. Once a
detective sees a player spy, even if the detective leaves without
a change in the two spies, the spy is not killed. In other words
the murder situation must develope after the detective leaves.
The brother to with whom he wanted me to get together to play
the game, died, so there is no immediate plans to get together.
Each of the 3 games have sold about 20,000, which is low
volume for them, but they are keeping them in the line for
next year.
He thought that Claude's TEN LITTLE INDIANS was O.K. as
a game, but th was not a mystery game.
[illegible cross out] Fay called. She still hasn't given up on TREASURE HUNT. Instead of a release from Claude, she wants me to send her a letter saying
that the idea of having chosen contestants try to sort themselves out
by talking to a computer was hers and that she offered us the
chance to work on it for her and we refused. I said I would.
Spoke to Anne. She said that when Claude called Alice, the first thing
she said was, when are you taking back EGGHEAD POKER, brusquely.
Later she grew more friendly as they talked and sai told Claude that
the 3M educational line is looking for geographical & science GAMEs,
except math. Claude has an idea for a TWENTY QUESTIONS type geographical
GAME. Didn't discuss it.
Claude called me. He has another idea for TEN LITTLE INDIANS, with
clue clue cards. Will show it at the N.Y.G.A. meeting.
