hi Martin

very funny really
the boards and pieces are very tricky

to get back to the auction..

i think  if someone will win it who already has either an SB 20 or SB 30 board
then probably one of the piece sets will work
whats good is that the auction has  both boards

and who knows,maybe the boards do work??

i think as long as the price does not get wild(say over $125) it is worth the
chance

SB(steve B .. not smart board) Regards
Steve
