Sometimes when I am teaching this game or playing with kids I sometimes try to play when I will intentionally create a situation where I will fulfill someone else's Goal, or somehow make another player to win. Even better if they have no idea what has happened. Its not always appropriate but it can be more fun than winning. :) -mice On Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 8:38 AM, Elliott C.
