a good idea since it could bring a player to a winning
score). After 5 unsuccessful added throws the player loses
50 points and ends his turn. He can stop earlier with a
penalty based on the number of added throws. If successful
he scores the full value of his combination, but he
cannot continue his turn.
After his first throw a player can announce he is trying
for a "Hex". If successful in 5 throws in getting three
skulls and three crossbones he chooses an opponent and
places a provided skull before him. Once he announces a
"Hex" the player cannot change his goal, and he cannot
use the 5 additional throws. Also if successful he
cannot continue his turn (I think he should be able to).
The "Hexed" player on his turn continues throwing until
all show Skulls and Crossbones - any combination. He loses
10 points for each throw and the player "Hexing" him gains
those points (my suggestion which Jerry welcomed.)
500 points are game, but players starting after have
an equalizing turn. If more than one goes over 500,
the highest wins.
