Thought | Thought of an idea for scoring <u>SUPER-TAC-TOE</u>. The player | ||
who goes first can decided that he doesn't have any | |||
further chance and suggest stopping the game. If the second | |||
player accepts he scores as many pcs. as the 1st player | |||
placed. If he thinks he can win, the 2nd player can continue | |||
the game. If he does win he scores twice the number of pcs. [pieces] | |||
played by the 1st player. If he doesn't neither player scores. | |||
If the 1st player wins he scores a set amount (to be determined). | |||
Called <u>Al Richter</u>. They are coming tomorrow. | |||
Played <u>PUSH OVER</u> with the Horns, 4-hand partnership. They | |||

the p. and p. games) and a little about the one with Gini. | |||
<br>Called <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. Told him about Gini's suit. He'll check | |||
with his lawyer on it. | |||
<br>Told him that a company was coming out with p. & p. games | |||
and would like some of mine, particularly from <u>AGOG</u>. He said | |||
that our contract calls for first refusal rights and he is sure | |||
that Carl wouldn't stand in my way, since the cheap price and | |||
presentation is in no way competitive with the Hoi Polloi presentation. | |||

segments. The game is <u>BOXES</u> with the addition of a spinner. | |||
This specifies horizontal or vertical and a number from 1 to 3. Of | |||
course regular <u>BOXES</u> can be played. David White, the president, | |||
has another variation which is not in the rules. He calls it | |||
<u>FOLLOW THE LEADER</u>. A segment must be played connecting with | |||
the last segment placed. (Didn't take one. Wasn't offered.) | |||
<br>Shackman had a game, <u>MAGNA WORD GAME</u>, which is <u>WORD SQUARES</u> | |||
played with magnetic tiles. | |||

Package with <u>GROOVE</u> and <u>HOLEY TERROR</u> came and BB had to sign | |||
for it. | |||
<br>Call from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> said that he'd release me from | |||
the contract if I accepted a flat fee for my share of the games. If | |||
not he'd take a long time with the first refusal. Told Phil I'd | |||
stay with the royalties. | |||
<br>Told Phil that I rcd. <u>GROOVE</u> and <u>HOLEY TERROR</u>. His lawyer said | |||
that he should write to Knox, rather than join the suit. Now he feels, | |||
Phil that is, that there is no need to join the suit, since he expects | |||
to be getting his things back also. I mentioned the Gini | |||
