<br>Wald had ideas for starting a "game club" and I tried to keep | |||
him down to earth. | |||
<br>He is working with a company that has put out a word | |||
game - <u>WORDMATE</u>. There are (I believe) 13 dials with | |||
all 26 letters on each and other dials for keeping score. | |||
Standard games, such as <u>GHOSTS</u> and <u>HANGMAN</u>, can be | |||
played using this. Wald will help selling it at first (they | |||
have sold some 10,000 already) and then, once they are in the | |||
stores he will try and do some P.R. work for them. | |||

<br>At the Smithsonian Museum he bought a paper board | |||
and rules for a <u>GAME</u> for 50¢. Bought 1 for each of us. | |||
<br>Made a tentative date to go to Philadelphia on 7/27. We'll | |||
go to the hobby store where he bought the plastic pcs. [pieces] I'll | |||
try and get a letterhead from "Gamut of Games" so we can get a | |||
reduction. Also we'll looks for <u>CIRCOLOGIC</u>. | |||
