changes. Went over the rules of <u>FITTING & PROPER</u> and
<u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u>. Had a great deal of trouble with the
latter since they made the 9 dials loose instead of fixed.
Finished late in the evening, including a covering letter to
Burt Huber.
 
3 calls from <u>Felicia</u> during day, mainly about her problems
with scheduling manufacturers' visits during Toy Fair. Finally
arranged that I will bring my things there on 2/21 at 9:00 A.M.,
possibly without rules. <u>Bill Garrity</u> of Schaper will be there
at 9:00 A.M. They are moving into adult games. They are
handling <u>AMERICAN EXPRESS MONEY CARD GAME</u> and are thrilled with
how well it is doing. I mentioned the $11 edition <u>Sandra Garson</u>
told me about. Felicia learned that that was the deluxe.
<br>At 10:30 on 2/21 <u>Dick Harris</u> of M.B. will be there.
<br><u>Bill Dohrmann</u> will be there on Thursday. We'll decide later
whether I should come for him.
<br>The package came back from DDI. <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u> and
<u>FREE FORM</u> were in good condition. <u>TANGLED WEB</u> was all beat up.
I told her that we might as well forget about it. It probably will
be too expensive for what it does.
<br>She had me check whether M.B. or Parker had seen <u>PAIR OFF</u> or
<u>FREE FORM</u>. Neither company had seen either game.
<br>She rcd. [received] the publicity material from <u>THE INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW</u>
and was impressed that I was featured. The 18 games didn't seem
to make her mad at all, just mentioning that there were probably
some she didn't know about. I told her that Blandin had pretty
much taken the 18 figure from a hat, which is true.
<br>Claude came there to change a typewriter ribbon (which Felicia
mentioned yesterday that she needed) and also cleaned the keys.
 
Called <u>Martin Gardner</u> to see if he knew the name of the Russian
Magazine that reprinted his article on <u>PATTERNS II</u> - since
Felicia thought it would be good to include in the biographical
material for Hallmark. He didn't have it.
<br>He has rcd. some <s>game</s> <u>GAME</u>s from readers. We'll get together
in a couple of weeks and he'll give them to me.
 
Rcd. the game <u>TALLY</u> from <u>Jim Scully</u>.
 
<u>Phil Orbanes</u> called by we were both busy and he call next Tuesday.
 
<u>TIME</u> Magazine (2/19) had an article on <u>BACKGAMMON</u> entitled
"The Money Game." (Filed in '73 Misc.)
