Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The `42 MOVES`, `0/10` opener sits around a chained orange ATHENS ring and shows `ACHE / GRIEF / HEARTBREAK / SORROW`, `GALLOP / DERBY / JOCKEY / TRACK`, `CORAL / OYSTER / CLAM / SQUID`, and `PEPPY / BOSSY / PROUD / BASHFUL`.

- Opening
- Clear lament, horse racing, sea creatures, and `PEPPY / BOSSY / PROUD / BASHFUL` first.
