My weekend deep dive in which I blame your nan for the state of the country (not really).
Nan’s Not Bankrupting Britain (But Politicians Might Be)
Pensions, productivity, and the myth of the migrant “drain.”

Presumably because of the removal of the <$800 duties/taxes exemption? Seems like it will impact almost all parcel firms :/

Fabio Lopiano has a few posible inclusions:
Ragusa (Italy)
Merv (Turkmenistan)
Baghdad (Iraq)
Other games that spring to mind for me:
London (Martin Wallace)
Glasgow (Mandela Fernandez-Grandon)
Santorini (Gord)
Barcelona (Dani Garcia)
Ulm (Gunter Burkhardt)?

Only a fairly marginal one. Towards the end of the race your deck will run out, when it does, you pick up your wake in order. So you know what cards you will draw in the final stretch, and can check anytime. It'd also nice that your wake dissipates steadily, but that is pure theme.

Possible, but I doubt it impacted the decision. I suspect the decision was made pre-final, and the reason the annoucenet was delayed was 2-fold: 1) Time to enjoy/breathe post final. 2) Contractual clauses around the complete (2nd) year mark. both points are pure speculation though.

Worth remembering there are 3 results for most games. Win, lose, and draw. ~23% of games are draws. So a Win% of 50%+ is probably winning twice as many games as you lose

Ofrenda! I'm very biased but it was one of those games that during dev I would take ANY excuse to play - and I still never got near a perfect game! If you like simple drafting, family that seem to always be bickering, and a tricksy puzzle that you've made for yourself then Ofrenda is🔥
