18 WEDNESDAY - DECEMBER 1974 
352ND DAY - 13 DAYS TO COME

On "All Things Considered" on radio they mentioned COMMUNITY as
 a game of cooperation rather than competition. (see 2/20.)

wants me to answer the writer and also to get the diagrams
to him so that he can make repros to include with new games and
to send to complainers.

He will call me tomorrow to talk about this and some other things.

one time. (Advanced players can increase this.) When there are
no spaces available with the proper number of dots, a player
loses his turn. When an area is completed, the player
completing it scores one point for each space in the area with an
opponent's color.

Call from Bob Champer. He'll be over on 12/23 to bring me the
WASHINGTON maps he has reproduced. He'll have supper and 
we'll kick around some ideas.

He asked, and I said that Bob Gellman had promised to pay
us before the end of the year.

Rcd. a call from Peggy Anderson of the NEWS. She got my name
from Mike Alber. She is doing a piece on businesses that
do well during a depression and she is checking on the saying
that games do. Rapped awhile and she seemed a little interested
in my collection. She asked if a New York paper had written me
and my collection up recently. Not since about '66 - except 
for the mention in the TIMES.

I asked when the piece she called on will run. About the
middle of February.
----
(cont. from 12/27) [12/27]

Played two games of CHARADES, divided into teams (me, Anne, Morty,
and Richie against the others). Fun.

Gave a copy of ACQUIRE for the Soucie family. Also the two
templates to Claude. Gave Marty LIE, CHEAT & STEAL. Mary Ellen
was interested in a game too. I suggested SLEUTH but a number
of people in their crowd have it. Then gave her VENTURE in 
a perfume box.

Claude has a date Monday to show RAZZLE DAZZLE to HASBRO. Also 
Wald and his ripoff game.

Had some ideas for WASHINGTON. Dice throw to get French help. Harder
at New York than at Yorktown. A lot to go on this still.
