The map board can be used to track the progress of the mage in the pattern. It requires you to use three cards in total: The spell card, the make or miss card, and the map board: It's a bit of a juggling act. I ignore the map board when casting spells and just reference the make/miss card and spell card.

 I use pennies as markers because they are ubiquitous. Everyone has 'em. But while they may appear tiny in the hand, placed on a spell card they become cumbersome things.

So try this: Take two pennies and the spell card. One penny tracks the misses or measures of grace that may modify the spell. The other penny tracks the progress of the mage on the court and we do this by occluding the star that marks the Mage's current location in the pattern.

In the example above, the mage is attempting to cast Bo Quiverosa. The pattern begins at W5. At this point in the spell the mage has missed on the first shot. If the mage completes the spell without dropping another shot the end result will add up to 3 arrow counters to the scoreboard. 

In the illustration above, the mage has completed 4 basket attempts, two of them for misses. The penny on the pattern has pinched off W4. This marks the location of the mage. The second penny pinches off G2.

When playing the table top simulator against an opponent, it is the responsibility of the spy to track the spell's progress with the spell card and make/miss roll chart. The mage is busy rolling the 20 sided dice.

I promise this: A little practice will turn you into a penny pinching expert.
