Going for Hypertouch. Not a fan of Blind, and I think Juniortouch and Juniorgoat might just be too easy.

I think being from Dunbartonshire allowed me to use the Hamish effect in Round 3.
This was a lot of fun to play, I think it could be pretty popular if it was put on apterous. Max-calculating would probably be awkward, but that doesn't matter much.
