Crazy Go & Pizza
Terry Benson is bringing his Crazy Go equipment that many of you will have seen
at Go Congresses throughout the decades. He's offered to again run Crazy Go Saturday
night. Crazy Go will start right after round 3. We'll also be ordering pizza, which
goes really well with Crazy Go.
If you've never seen Crazy Go before, don't miss it. We'll set up over a dozen
Go variants, including Rengo Kriegspiel, joker Go, bidding Go, Go on different
shaped boards, etc.
