To R.G.I. to see <u>Bob Gellman</u>. <br>
He said that <u>HOLIDAY</u> would be featured in <u><i>DIVERSION</i></u>, a
magazine devoted to doctor's leisure. <br>
Discussed putting <u>PATTON</u> in a "Library Edition" package.
Loaned him an <u>INFINITY</u> board as a sample of that possible
way of doing it. I preferred that he didn't since it is
better to have each of the half-board maps a separate
entity that can be used alone. I suggested plastic clips
(A.H.'s <u>KRIEGSPIEL</u> has them he showed me.) Another idea he had
was to use "grab-fab." <br>
Another game he intends putting in a "Library Edition" package
is a game called <u>GAMBLER'S DELIGHT</u>, which he showed me.
There is a very large board. Around the edge is a series
of spaces where players landing win or lose money on
simple "games." First player around the path becomes the
[illegible crossed out] "banker" for a session at one of the standard
games with layouts in the middle of the board. (Rough idea.) <br>
<u>HOLIDAY</u> & <u>PATTON</u> each sell for $8. <br>
He'll prepare the box before, but he won't actually need the
final <u>MACARTHUR</u> game until next March. <br>
I asked about my additional 10 copies of <u>HOLIDAY</u> and <u>PATTON</u>.
He made out an order to send me another 12 of each. <br>
He said that if I had any use for the two copies of
<u>MOVIE MOGULS</u> to keep them. If not he'd like them back.
