black clay and white clay called southern ice

And when a piece is captured, you drink the contents

Either that, or you make your opponent drink the contents to further weaken their game!

yep, herb_master

only fill what you're willing to drink LOL !

hehe stacey !

the one i make for myself will be smaller... shorter... i.e. less is more LOL!
