<u>INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS</u>, & <u>GAME OF THE WEEK</u>. These are <br> | |||
out & out imitation of the 3M packaging. Two other games are <br> | |||
<u>MATING GAME</u>, and <u>PRO PLAYOFF</u>. I told Roger that I had done <br> | |||
two 3M games and that these would probably hurt me. He said that <br> | |||
the distribution is different, would sell for about 5 in <br> | |||
discount outlets, Had a good relationship with him and he suggested <br> | |||
that I submit games to them. The man to contact is: <br> | |||

revolutionary war motif. There is a path with 21 spaces <br> | |||

There are cards with matching numbers which are distributed <br> | |||
among the players. One extra unnumbered card in a "Torie". <br> | |||

times take cards from another's hand. When all the discs have <br> | |||
been reached player holding the "Torie" card loses. | |||
