Thinking of a <u>GAME</u> - puzzle idea. Have a number of 10 x 10 grid boards  <br>

with holes in (say) half of the spaces. There are enough  <br>
pieces of (say) 6 x 2, 5 x 3, 4 x 3 with pegs on part of the  <br>

Met with Felicia and Alice at their house. Looked at a game  <br>
called <u>SHOW BUSINESS</u>. It was a <u>MONOPOLY</u> imitation played with dice-  <br>
(get an extra throw for landing on another player, not for throwing  <br>
a double). When land on a "play" can option it if wish to. Pay a  <br>
specific amount for the option. Then collect a specific amount  <br>
of "angel" money. After an out of town tour (where you win or lose  <br>
money by drawing "chance" type cards) Spin a "hit-flop" spinner.  <br>
If a hit keep all the "angel" money. If a flop keep half. When  <br>
a player lands on another's play he arranges a "theater party"  <br>
at a specific fee. (Rough idea. Completely - or at least 98% luck)  <br>
Talked about what to do about some of my games. Decided to  <br>
hold up on submitting <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?</u> to 3M until we  <br>
get some word from Will Erickson about their card game line.  <br>
If that doesn't look too encouraging, we will hold it off and I'll  <br>
take it up with me to Parker with a number of others.
The games Champion has, including <u>INFINITE PLANE</u> & <u>SPECTRUM</u>,
still didn't come. Felicia called again and got a promise to  <br>
send them right away.  <br>
Told them that I had some other games at another  <br>
manufacturer, of whom I was told in confidence. Didn't go into  <br>
detail & they didn't press me.  <br>
The inventor of <u>SHOW BUSINESS</u> was : -  <br>
Edward A. Raskin  <br>
442 East 78th St.  <br>
New York, N.Y. 10021
 
The 1st Quarter 3M check came (See 4/26)
 
Played <u>FREE FORM</u> with BB. Worked well. (See 5/5 for rules.)
