This game caught Nancy's eye, so we gave it a go.

We played three games. As usual, I won the first game, because it takes my opponent one play to catch on to the strategy and tactics of the game.

I had to point out moves she would've wanted to make the third game, though they turned out no the best moves. Is that a sly way of saying I was persuading her to lose?

Ack! I just discovered that I only have 32 of each camel color instead of the documented 34. Not that it affects the two-player game, but I'm annoyed.

I suggested this game as something Nancy would enjoy, being a Go player.

We were fairly even through the game, but Nancy didn't close up some areas when I ended the game by closing another area.
