SUNDAY 1 DECEMBER 1963 First Sunday in Advent 335th day - 30 days to come

Filing patents. Finished 1915 [crossed out] 1916.

Working on POTENTIAL board and pieces. BB [Bernice Sackson] started typing rules.

(cont. from 11/30) an equipment card you look at it and it tells how much gold can be mined with it at one time (varies). Gold can be hi-jacked until it is safe in a hotel room. First to get a set number of gold bars in hotel room wins. (Rough idea of rules.)

WAR AND PEACE: A book with layouts for playing BATTLESHIPS (war) and the same game with theme of discovering location of tribes by dropping food (peace).

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: Another pencil game in a book. Seemed to be like CONSEQUENCES but not sure. COLORMOS: Color dominos with no special new games.

At Brentano's Saw :- PORT OF CALL - Bought CIRCULAR CHECKERS (SISTI CHALLENGE) by Sebastian Sisti. [Diagram of circular board consisting of 37 connected spaces, drawn by Sackson labelled "(Picture in 1963 ad Clips)"] Played on board as shown. Each player has 12 checkers started at positions "A & B." Kings are made in the 3 spaces marked "K". Men must move forward. Jumps need not be in a straight line but can turn over the jumped piece along any of the lines connecting spaces. Moves must be along these lines. The rules state that a man when jumping must land in a space ahead of the piece jumped, (which seems to indicate that the jumped piece can be behind the jumped piece [crossed out] starting position of the jumping piece). When a man is kinged it must stop & cannot continue a jump.
