About the game
Each turn, the players build a stone and throw the metal ball across the base from one side to another like a pendulum. If you can pass the ball without hitting the stones, it's a success! But if you knock off any of the stones placed already on the base or push any piece off the base, you would have to take the piece to yourself as a negative point. If the players have finished placing all the stones, the game will end. Whoever has the least number of negative points will win the game. What will be the form of Stone Henge at the end of the game?
