Phil says he should have an answer from Mannie in a week or <br> | |||
so about the 2nd issue of p & p games - if they'll go with them or <br> | |||
not, In any case any p & p games in the future will be done in <br> | |||
Cal. rather than N.Y. <br> | |||
Carl may be out, but he has another offer and he won't mind <br> | |||
going. <br> | |||
Mannie wants to fire some of the deadwood at D.D.I. Phil will <br> | |||
probably be absorbed, together with "Gamut", into Reiss so that he <br> | |||
can have a lot to do with running D.D.I. <br> | |||
We are not supposed to get the royalty report on the p & p <br> | |||
games - <u>WORDPLAY</u>, etc. - until the end of this month but <br> | |||
Phil will try to get it sooner. <br> | |||
I'll go there tomorrow morning to talk some more. | |||
Call from <u>Earl</u>. He'd like to make the N.Y.G.A. meeting on 2/15 <br> | |||
instead of 2/8. O.K. Question as to whether it should be stag or with wives. <br> | |||
Earl bought a copy of ''<u>TABLE GAMES OF GEORGIAN AND VICTORIAN DAYS</u>'' <br> | |||
which he offered me as a birthday present. Thanked him but told <br> | |||
him that I had it. <br> | |||
Issy and Betty <u>Rothman</u> called to wish me a happy birthday and <br> | |||
to tell me how crazy they were about <u>ACQUIRE</u>, which they bought <br> | |||
recently. Betty said it was the first thinking game she had ever <br> | |||
played. <br> | |||
They both want to come to the N.Y.G.A. meeting, so BB will probably go. <br> | |||
Thought of an idea for <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>. Have set of 29 "Forced Trade" <br> | |||
cards which are divided between the players. Can be used the same <br> | |||
as a white double is now. Only one can be used on a turn. After the <br> | |||
trays are exhausted it is the only play possible* - getting rid of <br> | |||
choosing a card and throwing the dice. A double on the white <br> | |||
dice allows for free trading by all players. | |||
*except of course for starting up a company. | |||
