So it was that Victoria moved along the game path in starts and stops.
Although she kept a wary eye out for that Forbidden Pot of Gold,it seemed
to spend the rest of her play elsewhere on the plastic game sheet and Victoria
rapidly gained confidence and approached
the end of the pathmarked "Reward"
She got to the Reward and was pleasantly surprised when a silver sword,many golden chains and a small casket of gems appeared in front of her.
Though she was hesitant to touch the magical stuff,that quiet Game instinct told her
the stuff was harmless.
So she draped the gold chains around her hips,tossed the sword off to a corner off the sheet and picked up the casket of gemstones,which seemed surprisingly light as she lifted it.
As Victoria stepped off the path and back into their midst they saw all the changes to her arms,legs and
sinuous torso reverse,till she was plain Victoria again.
She walked up and handled the casket of gems to Betty to hold
who promptly went
"Oooffff" as she dropped the 100 pound casket to the floor with a
resounding crash,spilling gems everywhere.
Which was how the girls learned the game left you altered after your play,in Victoria's case much
stronger than she'd been before...
