The 6 games I did for <u>Hallowell</u> have been released by him.
(I brought up <u>Fred Feucht</u> and Phil said as long as his artwork
isn't used, he has no claim.) Of the 6, 5 should be quite ap-
propriate for Hoi Polloi:- <u>XANDO</u>, <u>CONNECTIONS</u> (which Phil
thought might be better purely abstract instead of cities in the
vis.), <u>AIR <s>SUPREMACY</s> BATTLE</u>, <u>HEXOWORD</u>, and <u>WILDCAT</u> (if they'll give
it a try). <u>FENCES</u> is too complicated for them.
Among other ideas, since Carl doesn't care if the games are
original or not, are <u>HEX</u> and my idea for a series of variations
of <u>BOXES</u> using different shaped boxes - having about four
or possibly six on each sheet.
Phil will have a meeting with Carl on Wednesday to discuss
the contract. Carl has always treated Phil fairly in connection
with <u>AQUARIUS 2000</u>. Phil mentioned (and I think it came from
Carl) that if we didn't supply the games for Hoi Polloi, Giani
Scott could steal a dozen in a day for them.
For Post cereal box Phil had the following ideas:-
<u>GOLD DIGGERS</u>- small cards with all the possible arrangements
of 4 colors arranged one at a time are placed face down in a
6x4 array. Players each choose a color and then turn up a card
