After getting pebble, stone, boulder and then the span frame in quick order, I was sure I would be looking for several rocks, but I quickly hit one, ERM, Rock.
Instead, Strands pulled a Cunning Board Division, and the other half of my search was looking for rollers – very clever – of which jelly was the first I found.
Despite this cunning trick, this was still an easy game with only the long tip that gave a challenge to choose.
