Call from Felicia to tell me that she'll talk to Karin Kole herself.
2nd call in evening. She had a meeting with Hallmark (who?). Now that the puzzle-game series is launched it is Burt Huber's province and not Bob Johnson's who is in development of new products. Bob will be setting up the other game series.
The specifications for the puzzle-game series: - Board must be 6" square. In general stay away from cards: if use - must be 52 of them. Not more than 32 pieces.
Told Felicia about HONORABLE RELATIONS and that I think it will fit the specifications. I'll bring it tomorrow even tho it is now out of Bob Johnson's hands.
They would like a puzzle-game for up to 4 players.
They took my TRAVELINE (after she gave it a big build up). Also THE MONEY GAME (which previous has had the name HIGH FINANCE and GOLD). She mentioned that they liked the fact that it has individual strips instead of a board. (Probably this is a change from the rough model I originally saw- or was it that I heard about. I have a set of rules.). They took Bradford Bailey's ROLLA DEAL POKER. They are interested in ESPIONAGE (did they take it?). She forgot to show LOTTERY, but we'll show it to Bob Johnson tomorrow.
The game line will have DUEL, FOCUS, and another of mine, as well as several others.
Hallmark has about 11,000 outlets and 8,000 take the Springbok puzzles.
At the stationery show she showed CHALLENGER IV to Kathy Brooks.
