Bennington Battle Day (Vt.)
228th day - 137 days to come
PLAYED POTENTIAL WITH DANA & BB. PUT BACK THE 10 INSTEAD OF THE 6. WHEN A PIECE OR PIECES ARE BLOCKED WITH A 4 OR A 5 IT CAN MOVE ANY DISTANCE ORTHOGONALLY. WHEN ONE PLAYER REACHES 60 THE OTHER 2 ( OR 3 IN 4 HAND GAME) UNITE AGAINST HIM. IF VULNERABLE PLAYER REACHES 100 POINTS HE SCORES ALL HIS POINTS. IF ONE OF THE OTHERS, THEY ALL SCORE THEIR POINTS, MINUS 60. 100 POINTS ARE GAME. ALL NUMBERS COUNT FOR THE SCORING POTENTIAL BUT, IN ORDER TO SCORE, AT LEAST ONE OPPONENT'S PIECE MUST BE IN THE SPACE. WORKED WELL.
