Hey Marion, nice of you to write encouragement. I laughed at your literal interpretation of fractured. I meant it to mean the board is chopped up with blockers in irregular patterns and so as you search for that first move it takes time to zero in on one. Bless you for sharing. Yep I'm one of the oldies but goodies playing---retired fairly late for 5 years now. We are expecting our first grandchild, a girl, any day now. Had our only child late in life ( just didn't happen for us) and now life's circumstances have made it so he too is having a later in life child. My son is the game player but not candy more into the deadly conflicts type. As he lives in NYC I can't ask his help. Of course I don't know the circumstances, but I am sorry to hear of the death of your husband. My husband has Parkinson's and so as he valiently fights to stay active the disease takes its relentless toll. So far he is mid-stage I would guess. He never complains about my playing this game and he could as I sometimes overplay time wise. I plan to chip away at level 1538 and kick in with the gold bars when I reach say 70,000 (if I can get that high---today I reached 40,000). I did consider quitting actually. You have perked me up!
