They are looking for a number game for the card line.   <br>
They dealt with the inventor of <u>KRYPTO</u> but he wanted <br>
<s>two</s> too much for his production facilities. Another inventor   <br>
submitted a <u>GAME</u> which they changed completely around <br>
to make it playable. They are thinking of offering a reduced   <br>
royalty but don't think he'll take it. If he does, Bob will <br>
let me know. In the meantime, I'll think about one.   <br>
The new Bookshelf games are <u>FEUDAL</u> and <u>FOIL</u> (He'll remind   <br>
Bill to send me copies.)<u>FOIL<u/>, therefor, is going in both lines.  <br>
In their test marketing the one city where they both were   <br>
sold was where they both did best. <br>
I mentioned that Felicia told me that <u>EGGHEAD OR CHICKEN</u>   <br>
did very well. He said they were disappointed with it and that   <br>
<u>SUM TIMES</u> did much better. They are figuring on changing <br>
the name to make it sound more educational. Also they will   <br>
change some of the cardboard to plastic to make it look like   <br>
more. Talking about educational games I mentioned that <br>
Frank Thibault had said that <u>BAZAAR</u> was being used in   <br>
his school as a teaching aid, and I suggested that perhaps   <br>
a new edition for the Eduplaytional could be made.   <br>
He said they were trying to move the Bookshelf line into   <br>
schools, but going at it slowly.  <br>
Showed him my changes in <u>SPELLBINDER</u> but took it with me <br>
to make repros of the rules at the office tonight and give   <br>
it to him tomorrow. Also showed him <u>ANOTHER</u>, and played   <br>
a game. Took it with me, saying that I wanted to show it   <br>
to someone else so that they would know about it, it 3M didn't   <br>
take it. I'll give. it to him tomorrow also.   <br>
Showed him <u>CINEMA</u> and <u>NOMINATION</u> and wanted to take   <br>
it home for packaging (since the equipment was loose   <br>
since the boxes were ruined by Hallmark) but he said everyone   <br>
there knows that I do a beautiful job of packaging and he   <br>
took it as it was.   <br>
Discussed the rumor he heard that Hasbro would be imitating  <br>
the Bookshelf and Sports packaging. We'll try to get a further info on it.
