Joe, of p.p. route #2 brought me a package from England with $2.00 due and $.80 postage due. He said that foreign packages should get a different type of card than the one left yesterday, but the other fellow may have made a mistake. The package contained STRATEGY and KINGMAKER.

(cont. [continued] from 12/25) [12/26]

I'll use a diagram like the Vasarely poster in my room and call it VASARELY.
I'll suggest using 7 games instead of 8 and putting in a double amount of SPRINGER, since it is a fast game.
