Kathy had the fellow in financial call Felicia. He didn't know  <br>
the answer, but after
the answer, but after I left he called again to say that our  <br>
foreign royalties are figured each time a quantity of <s>the</s> a  <br>
game is produced so that we'll get lump sums whenever this  <br>
happens. The games sold in England are included in the U.S.  <br>
totals. Felicia was told that the demand for <u>ACQUIRE</u> has been  <br>
good but that there is little demand for <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>.  <br>
(Felicia called BB so this is third hand.)  <br>
All Felicia has of mine is <u>LOTTERY</u>, <u>THE 31ST HEX</u>, and <u>PUSHOVER</u>.  <br>
<u>Bob Johnson</u> called. Our checks were sent yesterday and they are  <br>
"healthy".  <br>
<u>SPECTRUM</u> has been well received altho there is one problem  <br>
which he thinks is just a matter of redesigning the pieces. I  <br>
told him that I would be of course happy to work with any  <br>
criticism they come up with.  <br>
This brought him to mention that he finds <u>PE-LING</u> too  <br>
difficult for a beginner to digest at once. He suggested a  <br>
simpler beginner's version, keeping the present game as  <br>
the advanced version. Told him that I would look at both.  <br>
If he has anything to say about it <u>FOCUS</u>, <u>DUEL</u>, and  <br>
<u>TROMINO GO</u> will be among the first games to come out - but  <br>
no specific date in mind yet, (or that's the way I gathered it).  <br>
<u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> is in <u>Burt Huber</u>'s area and Bob doesn't  <br>
know its status.  <br>
I mentioned that I had some small changes in <u>RED LETTER</u> and  <br>
he said that he had felt something wrong in the scoring.  <br>
Felicia brought up <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u> and then the two of them  <br>
got off on which one of the previously submitted games he  <br>
wants to see again. It is <u>ESCAPE</u>, not <u>ESPIONAGE</u>,  <br>
<u>DOUBLE AGENT</u>, or <u>COUNTER INTELLIGENCE</u>.  <br>
He said he'd like to see <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>.  <br>
<s>He started</s> The matter of advertising came up and he  <br>
