<u>DOUBLE THINK</u> and <u>GREAT WALL OF CHINA</u>. I told him about some <br> | <u>DOUBLE THINK</u> and <u>GREAT WALL OF CHINA</u>. I told him about some <br> | ||
of my ideas | of my ideas and we each had suggestions. I said that since it <br> | ||
would be hard to determine the proper sharing of credit for <br> | |||
the games, we should makle it an even split. He appreciated the <br> | |||
suggestion. <br> | |||
<u>Claude</u> called to check if it was O.K. to send Marty to pick <br> | |||
up one of my two copies of <u>THE BOSS</u> tomorrow. Sure. | |||
<u>Jerry D'Arcey</u> here for supper and to sleep over. (Last night's <br> | |||
hotel room was part of a package deal.) <br> | |||
He said he'd keep reminding <u>Frank Thibault</u> to send me <u>CONTIGO</u>. <br> | |||
He visited the publishers of <u>THE OFFICIAL DEALER McDOPE DEALING GAME</u> <br> | |||
to get a copy for me but they didn't have any ready. <br> | |||
He also saw another game - <u>BEAT THE BORDER</u> (Boulder Co. - in <br> | |||
Boulder, Col.). He wrote to Boulder, Col. but got his letter back - <br> | |||
insufficient address. <br> | |||
The game is based on smuggling dope over the border. The further <br> | |||
inland you bring it the more it is worth - but the more chance <br> | |||
there is of being caught. <br> | |||
Jerry is thinking of doing a game - <u>SMUGGLING</u>. I showed him <br> | |||
the English game - <u>CONTRABAND</u>. <br> | |||
While we were talking I worked on a new board for <br> | |||
<u>ONE AT A TIME BY THE MILLIONS</u>. | |||

<u>Wald</u> called. The date Thursday is at B. and B., not 200 5th. <br> | |||
<u>John Rasor</u>'s sect. at Xerox called. Someone asked them where to <br> | |||
buy <u>PURE GREED</u>. Gave her Createk's address. | |||
Called <u>Earl</u>. He had an idea for a Tennis <u>GAME</u> played with cards. <br> | |||
Also a game <u>BLACKOUT</u> (told him the name has been used) based <br> | |||
on plugging appliances (toy) into a circuit until someone blows the <br> | |||
fuse. Told him that the second would be quite salable if he can <br> | |||
work it out. Suggested working, and splitting, with Al Richter. He'll <br> | |||
let me know. | |||
Looked up an old game idea of mine - <u>THE ROAD TO WAR</u> and <br> | |||
