Look at <u>QUICKSAND</u> (The Beach Word Game) (which is a complete remake of <u>FIRE ISLAND LINGO</u> (by Carol Wofford & Jordan Ramin - [address omitted for privacy.]  <br>
From a set of letters two are taken by a player. He  <br>
thinks of a word using those two letters and places dash (-) cards  <br>
to indicate all the other letters. Then on a piece of paper divided into  <br>
an 18 x 22 quadrille he writes three words that are connected with  <br>
his <s>regula</s> first word. They must have at least one crossword type  <br>
connection. The other players then have a time limit to guess  <br>
the word. If they do they can write in as many words as  <br>
they can think of connected with the original word and that they  <br>
can find room for on the quadrille, in a time limit. If the word  <br>
is not guessed the first player has this privilege. (Fairly rough  <br>
idea, Didn't get details of the scoring and when a new sheet of  <br>
paper was taken.)  <br>
Discussed what games Hallmark had of mine and others and what the outlook was.  <br>
According to Felicia's records the following were promised  <br>
for '72 which now means Stationery Show in '73 : - <u>ANOTHER</u>,  <br>
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, <u>TROMINO GO</u>, <u>TOTALLY</u>, <u>THE MAKE-A-PUZZLE GAME</u>, <u>PITFALL</u>, <u>DUEL</u>, <u>CUBITS</u>, and <u>INDIAN CHESS</u>.  <br>
The following probably won't ever be used but Hallmark was  <br>
told not to send them back yet : - <u>DEDUCTION</u>, <u>COLOR CONFUSION</u>,  <br>
<u>WINDOW PAINS</u>. <u>PENTHOUSE</u> was sent back. <u>TOTTER</u>, <u>COUNTER INTELLIGENCE</u>,  <br>
