Two from… somewhere…

Reincarnation: A Duo

1 Spirit’s View

how many times
around
the wheel

I’m done

2 Top Hat’s View

Park Place – 6 – Baltic
how many times
around
the board
until
I win

    thanks, everyone, for reading. Ms. Polkadotwitch, I actually did plan to use something more like that, but opted for the stronger symmetry between the sections instead.
