Rcd. an ad folder from Urban Systems, together with a <br> | |||
letter from <u>Andrea Green Donohue</u>, Director Public Relations. <br> | |||
They have a new line of ecology kits. The only new game <br> | |||
listed for adults is <u>CLEAN WATER</u>, a cheaper version <br> | |||
of <u>DIRTY WATER</u>. <br> | |||
Bought 6 decks of cards at 3 for $.88. | |||
Played two games of <u>FAIRY TALE GAME</u> with BB <br> | |||
using the simplified rule that getting an already <br> | |||
occupied figure allowed a free choice in that story. <br> | |||
Played until three stories were taken and the time was <br> | |||
15 minutes and 20 minutes. | |||

already had. Carl said not to worry about those since Bob <br> | |||
won't be able to do anything with them. <br> | |||
Carl wants the contract signed with me and Phil, not <br> | |||
with I.Q. O.K. with me as long as there is no "hold <br> | |||
harmless" clause - which Carl says there won't be. <br> | |||
There will be $1,000 as an advance, $500 upon acceptance <br> | |||
of the games and $500 upon publication. He hopes to <br> | |||
have them out by middle of November. <br> | |||
The games should preferably be for 1 to 4 players, <br> | |||
tho only 2 have to have solitaire versions, but more would be better. <br> | |||
Carl said that the big market for adult games is really not <br> | |||
there. When people go out to buy board games they'll buy <br> | |||
either a Parker or a M.B. game. Because of their huge <br> | |||
quantities they can sell something for $5 that looks as <br> | |||
good as a small company's more expensive game. <br> | |||
3M's performance is very poor for such a big company. <br> | |||
Their packaging takes much too big a piece of the price. <br> | |||
