I realised at some point during the night that the game does exist, and it is both strange horticulture and strange antiquities. It’s got my maiden name and my best friend’s from my school days in it, it’s all serious northern women from the not-so-distant past 😄

I need a game set on the Pennines or Yorkshire moors where I’m standing under a tree in the pouring rain, mad red hair and a load of sheep around me, saying to them “look at this, and it’s going to be cold tonight. You’ll have to come into the hut. I hope the firewood isn’t getting damp in there.”

Oh yes, and he’ll be paid for telling everyone why he’s entitled to my plums too. Fabulous.

Those things are a BASTARD to assemble. Night before the birthday - me (crafting skills) and husband (theatre get in/get out and advanced technical skills) going “how the fuck is anyone meant to do this??”

Greetings from Kyiv.

You see a guy who looks like a doge staffer, and you instantly know to stay the hell away from that little freak.
