To Zeke Rose. He took me to lunch and we discussed the Ideal line in general. He will send me an invite to their showroom during Toy Fair and I will see the specific games. He doesn't believe there will be any new games similar in type to THE BOSS. // Gave him my S&T review of the THE BOSS.
Ideal has bought out "Alabe Crafts" who put out MAGIC "8" BALL FORTUNE TELLER. Two new GAMEs will be coming out under this label, for sale thru stationery stores.

To "Gamut of Games." Played 2 games of REALM with him and lost. The starting positions are set up by each player in turn setting a "Base," with no two on the same row or column belonging to the same player. Then continue by placing the "Powers" (newest terminology) in the spaces with the Bases. While playing I made up a quick table of what happens when a player in his turn moves an "Interceptor" (middle pc. [piece] - and I didn't like the name) into a realm.

[table with 4 columns and 3 rows. The columns describe effects in the game and the rows describe the conditions that result in those effects. The rows have check marks for the effects that apply to that condition. Column 1: Remove BASE without loss of Interceptor. Column 2: Remove BASE with loss of Interceptor. Column 3: Immobilize an enemy Interceptor without loss of own. Column 4: Opponents and own Interceptors immobilized. Row 1: Attacker has 2 or 3 more powers (columns 1 and 3 checked). Row 2: Attacker has 1 more power (columns 2 and 3 checked). Row 3: Attacker has same or less powers (column 4 checked).]
