> We just gave everyone 6 boxus/advances if you knocked someone out of the skull.

> Our start was also much further from box # 1.

I will note these regional differences upon the next revision of the rules. The bonus given for the skull can really vary! When we played, we make one of the skull boxes a “K” (you became a killer instantly) and a “*” (you reversed yor direction in play–if your were going for 5 forwards, getting this bonus put you going for 5 backwards).
