Shapes

http://www.gameparts.net/backgammon_pieces.htm

Had a strange dream about a game (about kids and sexism?) A girl and a boy play a game supervised by some elders. The boy gets five points. His points are shaped like long wide popsicle sticks. A girl gets two points. Her points are two circles, like backgammon pieces. In the meantime, the boy gets his points doubled. So they are starting out in the game with 2 round points for her and 10 long wide points for him. He feels pretty good. She looks at him, like, how can she catch up? (Even if her points get doubled she'll just have four, and in the meantime he'll get fifteen).

You can be a winner at the game of life...
