Bryce mentioned that Martin Gardner had said I was working <br> | |||
on an induction game and he, Bryce, was interested in <br> | |||
it. Told him it was forpaper and pencil. Also as we talked further <br> | |||
I gathered that it was a deduction game he was <br> | |||
interested in. Told him I could have one ready for him. <br> | |||
Bryce said they were coming out with 3 games for the <br> | |||
Toy Fair. One is the Canadian game <u>RAT RACE</u> (see 5/23) and <br> | |||
the other two they are working on. Told him about the <br> | |||
reviews in the book and he said he'd get me copies by the <br> | |||
beginning of February. I also told him that he should <br> | |||
look at <u>AIRLINE</u> before deciding on a skill money game. He <br> | |||
said that he will be in town in January and will come here <br> | |||
for a visit. <br> | |||
They will be adding new games after the Toy Fair. <br> | |||
They looked at Connor's <u>TOTTER</u> and Bryce is thinking of <br> | |||
using magnets to keep the pieces in place. The girls are <br> | |||
very anxious to sell something of Conner's. <br> | |||
Brought <u>TOTALLY --</u> with me but forgot to show it. <br> | |||
After Bryce left talked some more. They are signing a <u>BALI</u> <br> | |||
contract with S & R, which can be terminated after 3 years <br> | |||
by either party. <br> | |||
Told them about my idea of an ad in the trade magazines. <br> | |||
They said that, as my agents, they [crossout] should, and could, <br> | |||
get articles on me placed in the magazines. We decided, however, <br> | |||
to follow up <s>my</s> on my lead with <u>TOYS AND NOVELTIES</u> and <br> | |||
not to tackle <u>PLAYTHINGS</u> now. | |||
To TOYS AND NOVELTIES. Mr. Greenburger sick, so I spoke to Mike <br> | |||
