it is in by 7/2.
<br>Spoke to Phil F. There are 3 new games. Didn't take them
since I'll be carrying things from Felicia. I asked Phil to
bring them next time he came to visit. Said he would.
<br>Made repros of the Skor-Mor catalog sheet (<u>PRIME TIME</u>, etc)
to bring to Felicia.
To <u>Felicia</u>. <s>the inve</s> One of the inventors of
<u>THE WATERGATE CAPER</u>, a friend, a lawyer, and a woman who
I don't know where she fits in drove up from Washington
with some copies of the game. I played part of a game
with the inventor - Jack Ruggiero - and his friend. It was
very slow moving with a lot of spaces where nothing happened.
Told them to get rid of most of them. Other places where
dice could be thrown up to 4 times I suggested instead
giving different success numbers for a single throw. Also
pointed out some unclear points in the rules and cards.
<br>They gave me a copy. 2000 have been printed. If they
go ahead they'll make corrections for the next run. I won't
write it up until I hear about the new run.
<br>Exchanged cards with the lawyer, Edward Kennelly.
<br>Spoke to Felicia for a moment and she asked whether 3M
had taken <u>Al Richter</u>'s puzzle (<u>SIX BEADS</u>), but then since
I had shown it I-S wasn't entitled to a fee. I told her
that I was showing it with the understanding with Al that
she would get the fee. However it was House of Games
and <u>Earl</u> said it would be much too expensive to manufacture.
<br>Felicia spoke to <u>Bob Johnson</u>. No specific info, except that
he likes <u>IMPULSE</u>, but not many others there have played it
yet. She said that if it was a question of using my
games or someone elses she told him to use mine. (Which?)
<br>I took the material that <u>Odette Willis</u> left for me (filed
in I-S box in basement). She decided to hold <u>Al Richter</u>'s
<u>QUADRUME</u> and <u>TRY-ANGLES</u> a little longer.
