9 SUNDAY- DECEMBER 1973
SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT- 343RD DAY- 22 DAYS TO COME

Wrote rules for SUPERGHOSTS.

Going over material for next column. Played NEXUS and MUFKI-PUFKI with BB.

Called Claude and told him about Hallmark's new directions (see 12/6). He told me about a German card game some of his fellow church members play. They think the name might be SAABEN or WALLACHEN (I looked for them but couldn't find any reference to them). He has a copy of the rules that prepared for him and he'll give it to me.

Thinking of my old game with dice called CONEY ISLAND and its adaption into a p&p game. (Later thought of the name COLLECT.)

(cont. from 12/10) [12/11]

Took two games in the new packaging: DESERT WAR (Simultaneous movement pad was missing), NATO.
Was going to run off some copies of material for my father to translate but Jim D. said they were short of paper and having trouble getting more.
To Kopy-Kwik and copied both sides of the rules for CONTACTIC; one side of TOPOLOGIK, one side of SPECTRUM, (discovered that there was necessary material on the other side.

Gave my father the copies for him to translate and will give him the missing sheet next time I see him. //Called Phil Orbanes and arranged to go there tomorrow.
At S.P.I. took 4 copies of S&T #41. The game is KAMPFPANZER. Also

[illegible strikeout]

At S.P.I. also took two sheets of "Consolidated Errata & Addenda (as of 31 May 73)." Covered CENTURION, GRUNT, LOST BATTLES, USN, COMBAT COMMAND, FLYING CIRCUS, BORODINO, WINTER WAR, ARMAGEDDON, YEAR OF THE RAT, DESTRUCTION OF ARMY GROUP CENTER. (Actually took it tomorrow.)

Claude called while I was out and I called him back when we returned from my father's. He was thinking of meeting me tomorrow at Brentano's. Told him that I wouldn't be there and that I was meeting BB to go to a movie, so we won't get together.
He saw copies of HEX-O-GRAM somewhere near Chambers St. Told him I had it.
At the store across from Alexander's Hardware store he bought three good sized bags of an imitation of "Lego." 69₵ each. He said that they have a lot of them there.
