I’d second Carcassonne and Azul, Quest for El Dorado is also good. Have you tried looking at Shut up and Sit down or Dice Tower for reviews? Also for purchases try boardgameprices.co.uk as it links to local games shops and often has better deals than amazon.

Veel sterkte. Ik heb mijn moeder eerder dit jaar verloren dus ik leef met je mee. Dingen gaat zo snel.

Thank you for your kind words. Absolutely agree regarding humility.

You're welcome.

Really enjoyed reading this, a timely link to Gutmann’s Unseen Leader, which I’ve been reading.

Really enjoyed this, very informative. Links to meeting science with sense making being one of the lenses to understand meetings (my MA). I've written about this for middle leaders on my substack (shameless plug).

That’s exactly what made me put it down. Having read your post, I need to try again.

Congratulations, I’ve recently taken the same big step with my own substack. Enjoyed your first blog - always struggled with Moby Dick - and subscribed.

Ouch! Hope he has a speedy recovery. (Side note - sleutelbeen, “Keybone” is collarbone?)

Oh no. Hope he’s OK despite the injuries.

It's a common phrase in books on school culture. I've just used it in my (shameless plug) substack on Hidden Curriculum that should be posting on Tuesday.

Ik ook. Fijne vakantie!
