Started work on a plastic base for the GAME of 6/12, tentative name - SPANS.

Played 3 games of DARN CLEVER with BB using the "X" symbol. We always got it before the 15 cards were used, but it was close. I'll have to adjust the scores when using 5 symbols. Something like 3 points for each card for the player winning, 5 points for each card if the opponent uses his deck without getting the setup, and 8 points for each card if the opponent guesses wrong.
