Mister-T-Go

Harrison's new favorite game is Stratego, or "Mister-T-Go", as the boys call it. (I have no idea where that came from, since the boys have never watched the A-Team or anything like that.) Andy taught Harrison how to play it a couple days ago and he has been obsessed since then. He begs for me or Andy to play with him. If we can't play, then he recruits Zane to play against him. Personally, I don't think Zane likes it quite as much as Harrison does since Harrison will do Zane a favor set up his guys for him. (Therefore, Harrison knows exactly where Zane's flag and bombs are.)
My personal favorite is when I was in the kitchen fixing dinner while they were playing. Zane started attacking Harrison with his General and Harrison's Spy was stuck behind some of his own men and wasn't able to attack. Harrison gleefully yelled, "Switching Time!" and proceeded to move his Spy up to the front of the ranks in order to kill Zane's General. No wonder Harrison always creamed Zane in every game. Ummm, Harrison, you're cheating somehow. . .
Ewan wishes that he could play Mister-T-Go, but for now, he'll have to just make do with playing with Harrison and Zane's dead players.
