Alice called. Letter from X reporting on the sales of all the <br> | |||
game submitted by I-S. <br> | |||
They are playtesting : - <u>RED LETTER</u>, <u>CAPTURE THE CARGO</u>, <u>FORMATION</u>, <br> | |||
<u>PERCEPTION</u>. <br> | |||
The following are scheduled for their initial line - <u>SHAPE AND SHATTER</u>, <br> | |||
<u>COLOR CONFUSION</u>, <u>TRIPLE CROSS</u>, <u>STACK STICKS, DEDUCTION</u>. <br> | |||
The following are being returned : - <u>WHOZAT?</u> (Too indefinite.) <br> | |||
<u>PITFALL</u> (Like it, but don't want to go into such elaborate product at <br> | |||
present. May want to look at it again but don't feel it is fair to <br> | |||
hold it (!)). <u>PARTY POLITICS</u> (Started off interesting, but got <br> | |||
dull towards the end. Also it is too seasonal in interest.) [I reminded <br> | |||
Alice that we had agreed not to send it because of <u>NOMINATION</u>, <br> | |||
she said she was sorry.] <br> | |||
They are still considering <u>IMAGE</u> and <u>FUN-ALYSIS</u> (a hand- <br> | |||
writing analysis passtime rather than a game.) <br> | |||
There was no mention of <u>CINEMA</u> or <u>NOMINATION</u>. Alice is going to <br> | |||
write saying she assumes that they just forgot to mention them as <br> | |||
being in the initial line. <br> | |||
In the letter Arnold said that they are waiting for the go-ahead from <br> | |||
the top to start production. In the meantime they keep perfecting the <br> | |||
games. They, too, hope that it will start this year. <br> | |||
After work brought <u>INFINITE PLANE</u> to Alice. Also brought her her share | |||
of the 3M 4th quarter royalty. We decided to <s>try</s> try <u>TAKE A NUMBER</u> | |||
on Champion Games. I'll try to finish it this coming weekend. | |||
At home looked @ <u>ON SETS</u> and <u>TUE</u>. | |||
Thinking of working up a set of deductive type <u>GAME</u>s with the Wff'N'Proof | |||
company in mind. If <u>CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN</u> folds, it will <br> | |||
be a good starting point. |
