Blue's turn.
There might be a Runners II, Runners with new rules, and there might not. Move a runner to a new position that has a pawn, as long as it is on the same column or row. Move as far as you want
and don't worry about being blocked. No more borderless board! Decently stimulating, but early testing often shows zero pawns at the end, so you know who wins when the game starts. More testing and tinkering needed. 6 x 6, but I'll look at 7 x 7 too.

Treasure hunt material is being shovelled in to the Treasure Hunts page.
Muttering to myself:
--------------------
It might be best to ignore me.
Treasure Hunt Canada is serious about being a national set of treasure hunts. The cover and other bits would have both English and and French ("Chasse au Trésor au Canada").
But what about the initial THC light, if it doesn't have a French-language treasure hunt? That would look a little silly, and a bit of bait and switch for a Québequois audience.
On the other hand, this would establish the brand and make the goals clear. Note that I can do whatever I feel like for a self-published book.
Should Treasure Hunt Canada light .. be called Treasure Hunt Canada Light?

| Q: Does a treasure hunt have to be complete when it is submitted for evaluation? |
| A: No |
The first level of evaluation is about separating the wheat from the chaff, and seeing if you do the work. Maybe some sections are not right/ready, art is not there, the place for the treasure is not nailed down.
The second level of evaluation is a thorough scrub, making sure all the details are looked at. But even there it is likely to be an incomplete, iterative mess.
You can submit more than one treasure hunt and have it published in the same book.
There can be more than one treasure (hunt) in the same zone.

Don't quote me on any of this. This revolves around Bart Kay, who made The Treasures of Known Aim, said to be the most interesting treasure hunt.
The hunts are made by a set of people in his hunt community. Free. Cowlazars provides the name, hosting, and I guess web pages and images.
What definitely catches my eye is this set of people each provided different things in their treasure hunts.
There is a famous scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Ben Stein is teaching an apathetic class.
Q: Which piece of legislation was he discussing?
Anyone?
A: The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act
That holds up. It's in the editing.

A couple of shorts for a knife that's been rattling around my brain.
I thought this was clunky metal, which was part of the appeal, but it is a light glass-reinforced nylon handle. Uses magnets.
One minute. The musk ox(en?) seem be making a defensive line. As I understand it, this protects the young from predators.
The true north strong and green?
