What a fiasco this turned out to be. There must have been a problem with the plans or maybe it's the wood I chose.
I gave the board to my son, we played 2 games to break it in and he beat me both times. He's a rookie, I've been playing for 40-plus years.
Obviously there's a problem with the board.
Did you inhale too much finish?
It was nice of you to reel him win to the game like that. Build up his confidence and then at the right moment bring him down.
That was the plan with my daughters, but it did not always work.
Right. A couple of games to build confidence, THEN start the dollar a hole (inflation) games.
What, they never got interested or they never stopped beating you?
Make sure that you each only more *your own* pegs... : )
Oops, that should be "move" not "more". Don't be afraid to slap the other person's hand if you see a violation..
Jeez! Pictures?
The final pics were posted in the original thread.
Looks damn FINE!!! Definitely not broken. ;~)
Thanks! It should be in Reno by now. Maybe we can play via Skype.
Looks to me like a termite got to it. ;-)
simple
most likely the shuffle was not good enough how many times did you shuffle
did you make the pegs or buy them
i wanted to make a board with leds and speech recognition to eliminate those pegging mistakes for folks with bad eyesight
simpler option might be a large board
i lost a game but it was mostly due to pegging and i did try to correct as we played but conceded and actually felt ok to give the win over
we did use a large deck but it the pegging that was hard
