= 29 Saturday • December 1973 =
363RD DAY • 2 DAYS TO COME
Wrote card-letter to Bob Lauzon; NOST master.
Rcd. [received] letter and statement from R.G.I. for 1973.
PATTON - $1,231.27; HOLIDAY - $597.62; total - $1828.89 enclosed.
$962.87 to me; $334.09 to I-S; $307.82 to Bob Champer; $224.11
to Ruth Shaller.
Rcd. [received] a letter from Walter Dykoski saying that he was sending me
the pcs. [pieces] for CRESCENDO CHESS, Also sent some descriptive material.
Call from dad. The translations that I ran off on 11/27
of SIROCO, ZIG-ZAG and WIEKSLAG were given to him
on 12/24, as well as the missing parts from SPECTRUM.
He finds the ZIG-ZAG is not Dutch. Checked and discovered
that it was Danish.
Put contact on the back of the cards for THE NAVAL GAME.
(A roll of blue contact that I bought for 75¢ at an ORT bazaar
was useless.)
Played FOREIGN INTRIGUE with the Richters (I used 28 of
the "spy identity" cards and crossed off the removed ones
from the "spy lists." Made some extra "no assignment" cards
by writing over some others - making a total deck of 56 cards.)
It played very well. Decided to allow a player at any time
to throw in as many cards as he wishes and replace them
from the deck, as his complete turn. Decided to score the
game simply by number of spy "envelopes" he has at the
end of the game. Later decided to allow a player, on his
turn, to "challenge" another player even if that player's name
doesn't show. He can't give him an assignment however. A
player may give more than one "challenge" on a turn, but may
not give an assignment in that turn.
Played the THE NAVAL GAME with Al. Pleasant. There are a
few things unclear in the rules.
Showed them HUEMANIA TIC-TAC-TOE and played a very quick
game with Al.
Asked Al about the availability of "circuit boards." He said kits
can be purchased at Radio Shack or other similar places for
etching your own circuits. Another type uses tape to make the
circuit.
