Where do librarians hang out on the internet and what do they talk about there? Abstract answers that won't lead me there are ok. TIA
New rule just dropped: knocking a piece of your own off the opponent's side doesn't get anyone a point but does get you a free shot from out of their score pile. This is the "king me"
for your opponent but they reclaim a piece of theirs from your score pile and immediately take one shot with it from any vacant dark square on the board. This game is probably bad but so is checkers and it's done p well for itself
If you contact no opposing pieces with your shot, the piece you shot leaves the board as a point for *them.* Pieces of yours that *your shot* knocks off any neutral side of the board are also points for your opponent. If you knock a piece of yours off *your* side of the board, not only is it a point
A particularly high-varnish wooden checkers set at the cafe may have just led me to design a hybrid of checkers and crokinole. So, on your turn you flick any of your pieces the center of which is on a dark square. A piece of your opponent's that you knock off *their side of the board* is a point.
As much as today-me is glad this number isn't lower, yesterday-me was proud of having a four-digit Twitter ID and is kinda let down
Been saying this and it needs to be said a lot. Trump’s first term was not NEARLY as insane or despotic as Trump wanted because adults in the civil service basically kept telling him “no.” That’s not going to happen a second time.
