Jeff,
Thank you for organizing this game. I look forward to the web page
updates, and a more finalizing of the rules as discussed at dinner.
I like that we all seemed to agree on using Dave's wall's as the
boundary; and I like that we all have to BYOC (Bring Your Own Cans)
I think we agreeded that we should aim for a Max Weight/Size of 1 Litre,
or about 1 KG. (2.2 Lbs ish)
I also love the idea that we can brings cans that are not necessarily
"round" im thinking canned meat products.
This should be a fun game.
Chris
