Went thru the games we had prepared : - <br> | |||
<u>UPSTAGE</u> - He thinks he likes it. <br> | |||
<u>COURIER</u> - He liked it considerably, altho we didn't play much. <br> | |||
<u>THE GENTLE ART OF POLITICS</u> - At first he didn't seem too <br> | |||
enthusiastic. But after <u>Wald</u>, <u>Arthur</u>, and <u>Claude</u> talked it up <br> | |||
he seemed more impressed. Discussed names and he liked my <br> | |||
suggestion of <u>FIGHT CITY HALL</u> best. <br> | |||
<u>LICENSE TO STEAL</u> - Played it a while. Similar to last <br> | |||
week with some small changes. Wexler suggested making a small <br> | |||
town atmosphere and calling it <u>PEYTON PLACE</u>. Claude will work <br> | |||
on it. I suggested Logos on the back of the money cards, showing the license(s) involved. <br> | |||
<u>TOWN AND COUNTRY</u> - When the genius meets a player he has to <br> | |||
bet all his money on whether even or odd shows up. If he <br> | |||
loses he has to get another stack of money which has to be <br> | |||
repaid. If he wins all players count up their money and each scores <br> | |||
points depending on how much money they have in comparison <br> | |||
with <s>the</s> each other player. Then the game continues. There is <br> | |||
no sending to jail. (Not complete.) Wexler said no on this one. <br> | |||
<u>THE BRAIN GAME</u> - Showed a little of this. Wexler said it was good, but <br> | |||
more of a 3M type game. (Possibly if I hadn't insisted on <br> | |||
royalties he might have been more interested.) <br> | |||
Made next date for 8/10 at 200 5th. He'll bring us each a check <br> | |||
for $5,000. He wants us to bring in <u>UPSTAGE</u>, <u>FIGHT CITY HALL</u>, <br> | |||
and <u>COURIER</u> in a form that he can take with him. He also <br> | |||
wants us to brink 1 1/2 games more from each - that is me, <br> | |||
<u>Claude</u>, and the <u>Amberstones</u> as a team. <br> | |||
Called <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> from B & B. He wanted my address to <br> | |||
include in a contract their lawyers are preparing. <br> | |||
Thinking about ideas for 2-hand <u>FIGHT CITY HALL</u>. Tried with BB <br> | |||
and it didn't work out. BB suggested a different set of <br> | |||
Deal Cards for 2 players. Worked one up and it worked pretty well. <br> | |||
<u>Felicia</u> called while I was away. She hadn't heard from 3M on my <br> | |||
royalties yet, and wondered if I had. | |||
---- | |||
(cont. from 8/6) [8/7] | |||
decided to change it to <u>THE GAME OF NATIONS</u>, leading to <br> | |||
a showdown instead of war. Made the outline of the board and <br> | |||
inked it in. Listed the wording of the spaces but didn't <br> | |||
get a chance to put them in. (Probably not all done today, but <br> | |||
at various times.) | |||
