4 SUNDAY - JUNE 1972
FIRST SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY - CORPUS CHRISTI - 156TH DAY - 210 DAYS TO COME
Almost caught up with game diary.
Played DEALER'S CHOICE with Harold & Phylis Saperstein. They liked
it and I'll try to get them a copy.
(cont. from 6/8) [6/8]
Earl Perel called with a suggestion that we try and get a
job as game directors on a cruise ship for one or two
cruises. I mentioned Sandy Garson and he wanted me to
call and ask her about it. Tried but no answer.
(cont. from 7/21) [7/21]
He thought that he had a game that I might not have from around
1940, TACTICS. Checked my card file and I do have it.
Later he mentioned a game COUP D'ETAT, not Jerry D'Arcey's,
but a war game based on a revolution in a city, with the
objective of occupying certain objectives, like the police
station, radio station, etc. He bought it in England not too
long ago when visiting Don Turnbull. I'll try to get a copy
thru Don. If not possible Omar will send me copies of the
rules and descriptions of the material.
Omat & Sue have exchanged visits with Don Turnbull and
his wife (from whom he is now separated) and they told BB not
to be reluctant about staying with them.
Omar has invented only one game, a mystery game called
221B (Sherlock Holmes' address). It is now being looked
at by A.H. but he is sure it will be returned. He asked
about 3M and I told him that they are looking for a
mystery game. His game is for from 4 to 6 players and I
told him to extend it for more players, which he can. I
also suggested his writing and asking for a disclosure form.
Lou Zocchi came up in the conversation. He is trying
to get BATTLE OF BRITAIN back from Renwal and is having
trouble, even tho he never got any royalties from them.
Omar has bought a copy of BAZAAR to send to Don Turnbull.
He has sent the money to Creative Specialties for them
to send a copy of BUGS & LOOOPS to Don.
Omar used to earn some money by answering A.H.'s nut mail.
Now A.H. uses in house people for this. Omar is trying to
write game reviews to pick up money to keep up with his
game collection. He has been rejected several times by his
local newspaper and by THE SATURDAY REVIEW.
