She said that it would be helpful to S.P.I., since Brentano's is<br>
selling their games if <u>Dorothy Shapiro</u> were to get a <br>
subscription to ''<u>S & T</u>''.<br>
A new client - "The Young Group" with Mr. and Mrs. Young (he<br>
was once a consultant at Parker) has a game called <u>ALIMONY</u>.<br>
It is played on a <u>MONOPOLY</u> type board with a center portion<br>
showing 10 steps to the courthouse. The object is to end up with<br>
as much as possible of the property. There are small models<br>
of the pieces of property, which are cute - but expensive.<br>
She is thinking of submitting the game to Dynamic<br>
Design (Parker wouldn't have anything to do with it). They now<br>
have a 4-page disclosure form that has to be filled out.<br>
Told Felicia about <u>SPLIT</u>.<br>
When Owens-Illinois took <u>MINEFIELD</u> and the other item<br>
Felicia asked for an advance of $1000 each. They didn't<br>
give her an argument - but she still doesn't have the money.<br>
2nd call from <u>Felicia</u>. She spoke to the Youngs and they<br>
want to order a copy of <u>SPLIT</u>. Gave her the address.<br>

<u>CHINESE CHESS</u>, as well as the regular <u>SCRABBLE</u>, <u>DIPLOMACY</u>,<br>
and <u>GO</u>. Games view covers <u>THE GREAT GAME OF BRITAIN</u>, <u>AMBUSH</u>,<br>
<u>BUCCANEER</u>, and a book ''<u>GO: A GUIDE TO THE GAME</u>''. Gyles<br>
Brandreth mentions that <u>ALICE IN WONDERLAND GAME</u> (which is<br>
also advertised in the issue) is his game. He gives rules<br>
for <u>THE LEXICOGRAPHER'S GAME</u>, which is the same as<br>
<u>THE DICTIONARY GAME</u>. In "Forum" a reader gives rules for<br>
<u>NOT A WORD</u>, a variation of <u>GHOSTS</u>.<br>
Call from <u>Al Richter</u>. Date changed from 11/17 to 21/1.<br>

Told him to send <u>HOLIDAY</u> and <u>PATTON</u> to <u>Roger Verhulst</u>. He will<br>
