Logomachy gives rules for <u>NINE COLUMN UNCRASH</U> and an <u>ALPHABETICAL UNCRASH</U> variation <br>
Rcd. ''<u>NOST-ALGIA</u>'' #199. <u>Phil Cohen</u> gives annotated game of <br>
<u>SPHERICAL CHESS</u>, rules for <u>DZIEJMA</u> by Alan Dziejma. <br>
Rcd. X'Mas card from <u>Phil Orbanes</u> and family. <br>
Rcd. envelope from <u>Phil Orbanes</u> with rules for <u>NET WORTH</u>, with short note. <br>
Rcd. X'Mas card from <u>Mike Abrams</u>.
Made new layout for <u>ROUND & ROUND</u> and, since I had used the  <br>
original art of <u>SEARCH</u> by mistake, I taped on a repro of <u>SEARCH</u> <br>
for getting repros tomorrow. Made a new double layout for <u>PEACE CONFERENCE</u>. <br>
Before this wrote rough rules for <u>PEACE CONFERENCE</u>, <u>SEARCH</u>,  <br>
<u>ROUND & ROUND</u>, and <u>RESOURCES</u>. BB typed them in the evening. <br>
----
Played 3-hand <u>PEACE CONFERENCE</u>, with BB and Dana. Turned over  <br>
a card from the 4th hand for all to see. Discovered that each <br>
player, in turn, can be allowed to form bipartite agreements - the <br>
others playing cards a distance away. One possible correction is <br>
to need 4 (or possibly 5) bipartates to win.
