What’s better than one false eye? Surely two false eyes! (of course two half eyes are better, but beggars, choosers etc)

Later this group made another real eye, better make sure the connection is strong. We already have a large knight, why not a large bamboo joint? I guess this is already a real thing, so we need a better name. Reinforced bamboo joint? It’s immune to ko!

Maybe time to give a name to that famous shape living thanks to two false eyes…

The snake biting his tail?

Other name suggestions welcome.

Nice, it’s bit same idea in fact, just away from the edges. Ah it has a charming name too.

Edit: According to SL the 2 head dragon name will be shared, and there are other names similar to the one I gave (Some dusty memory of mine i guess).

The idiomatic English translation would be ouroboros, from Greek.

Hard to say what this is. Do I see a guy in a wheelchair? If so, it would mean that 2 empty triangles get you rolling.

Be careful to not have two more black stones in the upper corners.

the top part with the “bent handle hammer” appeared in a recent Nick Sibicky video, must be a strong shape. time stamp to a few moves before to see how to construct it:

I can see the hammer of post 1 but @yebellz 's one is clearly a curling stone

I also see a curling stone there, but with the three stones below, it clearly becomes a dalek. :smile:
