I played Zendo a little over a week ago, including two new players and some experienced players. Timothy must be correct that I'm fond of saying the following phrase, because I did say almost exactly that at some point while we were playing: > From: Timothy Hunt <games@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > As Jeff Wolfe is fond of saying, the two most common errors of an > inexperienced Zendo master are: > 1) Making a rule too hard by accident > 2) Making a rule too hard on purpose During the same session, we also discussed the possibility of having rules referencing prime numbers, and whether one is a prime. I have in the past had arguments over the primality of the number one (while playing Zendo), so I now carry around a printout of the following web page: http://primes.utm.edu/notes/faq/one.html My friends were amused when I brought it out. I'm not sure what it means that my geeky friends seem to think I'm too geeky. - Jeff
