Called <u>John McGinley</u> | Called <u>John McGinley</u> (whose letter I rcd. on 4/12). The game <br> | ||
modification he wants to sell is on <u>MONOPOLY</u>. I told him that the <br> | |||
chances of selling it are very small but that he doesn't <br> | |||
have to worry about his ideas being stolen. <br> | |||
He is an <u>ACQUIRE</u> fan and has introduced it to many of his friends. <br>The only objection is that of running out of money when smaller <br> | |||
numbers of players are playing. I <s>sugg</s> agreed that there isn't enough <br> | |||
money and said that I had argued with 3M about it. I suggested <br> | |||
dividing $36,000 (first I said $24,000 but then called him back when <br> | |||
I saw that the rules give $6,000 to each player at present) between <br> | |||
the players, and he thought it a good idea. Incidentally, he said that <br> | |||
nobody doesn't like <u>ACQUIRE</u>, even non-game players. <br> | |||
He has a copy of <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> (which I told him was mine) but <br> | |||
hasn't played a full game yet. After he plays it he'll call me with <br> | |||
his reactions. <br> | |||
Told him <u>SLEUTH</u> was mine also. He has seen it but thought it was <br> | |||
just a knock-off of <u>CLUE</u>. Explained the game and he said he'd get a copy. <br> | |||
Told him about <u>MONAD</u> but, he said, certain types of games don't <br> | |||
interest him. <br> | |||
Wrote to <u>Stephen Lissandrello</u> (see 4/12) with answers to <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> <br> | |||
questions. <br> | |||
Wrote to <u>Dale Mills</u> (see 4/12) about <u>SPACEVENTURE</u>, <u>CHE</u>, <u>REINCARNATION</u>, <br> | |||
and <u>LENSMAN</u>. <br> | |||
Wrote to <u>Stanley F. Cohen</u> about <u>LASCA</u> or <u>LASKERS</u> (See 2/6 and 2/9). <br> | |||
Wrote asking about subscribing to ''<u>GAMES & PUZZLES</u>'' Magazine. <br> | |||
Wrote asking about subscribing to ''<u>COACHING LINES</u>''. <br> | |||
Wrote to <u>Randy Clark</u> giving him <u>Arthur Amberstone</u>'s address. He <br> | |||
is interested in <u>POWER</u> and <u>HIGH DECK</u>. | |||

row. (Much too much like <u>PLOY</u>.) <br> | |||
<u>ROULETTER</u> (Word) A rotating <s>disc</s> field has about 3 segments <br> | |||
with spaces to place 3 letters in each segment. Up to 6 <br> | |||
can play with each having a "station" to which one of <br> | |||
the segments can be moved. Each player in turn moves <br> | |||
a segment to his station. He then takes one or more letters <br> | |||
from that station. Opponents can take letters from the <br> | |||
segment at their station, but don't have to. All letters <br> | |||
taken have to be used in words, but he didn't have <br> | |||
exact details worked out as to what the objectives are. <br> | |||
<u>VOCABEULARY</u> (Word) (Not sure of spelling). Six cubes with <br> | |||
letters on their five exposed faces are mounted on a central <br> | |||
cube so that each one can rotate into any of the four <br> | |||
possible positions. Each player has a similar gadget and <br> | |||
they are all set with the same positions. Object is to find <br> | |||
as many words as possible in a set time. Words must follow <br> | |||
in certain set manners from face to face. (Not all letters <br> | |||
