+<h1>Quacks of Quedlinburg - Pumpkins etc.</h1>
+
+<h2>Books of Pumpkins</h2>
+
+<p>
+
+  A friend was disappointed on playing books II-IV that, unlike in book
+  1, pumpkins are completely inert.  With some help and playtesting, I
+  developed the Books of Pumpkins.
+
+<p>
+
+  They're quite fun.  You probably want to mix these in sparingly, by
+  choosing randomly.  A completely pumkinated game is quite odd.

+  out</a> (PDF)
+  <li><a href="pumpkin-books.md.html">Rules companion and clarifications</a>
+    (or as a <a href="pumpkin-books.md.pdf">PDF</a>)
+</ul>
+
+<h2>House rules and clarifications</h2>
+
+<p>
+  We have some house rules which improve turn-taking, adjust
+  the balance of certain chips, and clarify some points.

+</ul>
+
+<p>
+FTR, we no longer play on the test tube side of the boards.  In our
+experience this significantly overpowers blacks.  We have not yet
+found a good way to debuff them by about the right amount.
