24 WEDNESDAY - MAY 1972
145TH DAY - 221 DAYS TO COME
To Simulations. Got HABITAT and HONORABLE RELATIONS from
Phil Orbanes. Also took the following copies of S & T - 1 each
of #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, & #30; 3 of #31.
To Stationery Show and saw Bill Knox. Showed him HABITAT. He liked
the appearance but said the puzzle was frightening. He
suggested pieces being the same - 4 types would be ideal from
a molding point of view. Told him I'd work on it.
Bob Hallowell stopped by while I was showing it and said that Reiss
hadn't cared for it.
To Durand (who handles THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKI GAME). The only new
game is HUSTLER a golf game with a figure that hits the
ball.
To Cornwall Industries. Saw CAPABLANCA CONCENTRIC CHESS. It
is on a circular board, but is played the same as if the sides of
a regular board were joined (king's rook considered adjacent
to queen's rook column). Took my card to send me info.
To S.J. Miller. His new item is a set of TANGRAMS
SILHOUETTES.
To Hansen. Spoke to Mr. Tripp again and he gave me a
review copy of LAND-BARON. Would like to know in advance
when the review is coming and then a tear-sheet. Since
they also handle THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKI GAME and Gini Scott's
CONFRONTATION, he would like copies of those reviews.
Took a folder for "Peterson Games" which a large number
of attractive small games and puzzles. Among others : -
SCHPOTZ, TRIPLE 7 SOLITAIRE, TALLY HI!,
THINK-A-MA-JIG,
DECIMATE 'EM, SAFE AT HOME, THE UPTIGHT SPIDER, ZOT!,
FROGS ON A LOG, PLUCK ME NOT, TRAVERSE, BLITZED!!!,
BALANCE THE WHEEL, and LOTS 'O SPOTS.
To American Greetings and finally got a chance to talk to Morry Weiss.
(Gini Scott was waiting to see him after me.) He wouldn't
say anything about the games other than that they are strategy
and family games priced $5 and up. Gave him my card
and he said he'd contact me when the games are ready.
Brought the NINETYSEVEN review to Kontrell and gave it to
Walter York-Koenigstein.
Called Earl and told him I'd come to his apt. Friday if I felt O.K.
He saw a game at G. & R. which he thinks might be a game he
played 30 years ago. I told him I am sure it isn't but I'll try to
get a copy tomorrow - FOOTBALL (Mini-games). He'd also like ad
sheets to send to that Japanese company who might be
interested in going into games.
Rcd. my hand-printed copy of NOUVEAUX JEUX D'ECHECS INTERESSANTS
back from J.R. McHone (Filed in Phil Cohen folder.)
Deposited the $700 Xerox check in a new account at East New
York Savings Bank.
