Both stacks start at 250. Every turn, you may increment or decrement the value in either stack. You may only change the value of one stack per turn.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Boys win</span> if the first stack hits 500 and the second stack hits 0. <br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Girls win</span> if the first stack hits 0 and the second stack hits 500.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">NB folks win</span> if both stacks hit 0.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Intersex / Bigender folks win</span> if both stacks hit 500. If we don't have any of them for the time being, just consider it <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">all</span> parties losing.<br /><br />Regardless, everyone will have to change the starting value by a minimum of 500 in order to win. Just like the old gender race. Also, this one has a little bit of 'strategy' involved in order to win.<br /><br />Hopefully this can replace the existing gender race, since we probably should go for a more inclusive game.
