I’m almost done with my first trip around the board (only four spaces left!) so I decided to go a second time around using the Sun pack except for the few where I used the Sun
prompts the first time around. For those few, I'll use the Moon prompts I
skipped last time. I'm going to designate my first time around as the
Moon Pack board and my second as the Sun Pack board.
