Re: Flipping Shell Stones?
It seems if one side is a little bit longer than the other, then I assume it is still fine. But of course, if one side is much longer than the other, then, I would say ,oh my god??????xed_over wrote:one side is longer than the other, and the longer side usually runs with the grain of the wood.Kuopio wrote:Does it matter which side you put on the board when you play?
