A photo is being shared online with the suggestion Ukraine’s president wore a suit to meet the WEF founder, amid criticism of him not wearing one to meet President Trump.

But this photo is from 2020, before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Another first play of the weird and wonderful cosmic cow collectors.

Balance your three actions to try and end the game with the most cows (points). It's bonkers but a lot of fun with a nice dab of player interaction.

As I argued some weeks ago, we have to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us, as uncomfortable and even scary as it might be.

This is one of the many things I love about Ian and the whole Giant Brain ethos. It's honest.
Hey folks. It's been brought to my attention one of my critcisms of Eat the Reich by @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social was incorrect. I've added a correction to the piece. I said I though Nicole's Sapper ability was a bit pointless, but had misread it.

Eat the Reich - GMs Review - The Giant Brain
Eat the Reich is a one-shot focused RPG that sees you coffin drop into Nazi occupied Paris in WW2 and drink Hitler. What's not to like?

Meanwhile, the appalling realities of Russian aggression in Ukraine continue. Local officials in Ukraine say at least one person was killed in the Black Sea port of Odesa and five others wounded in the eastern city of Kharkiv after Russia launched a wave of drones overnight.

Played Sea Dragons from Draco Studios last week. A fun easy to pick up and play game with the magic formula of easy to learn tough to master.

Place dragons with care to score big with area control or captured pirate ships. The result is a great casual game that Knizia fans will enjoy.

I was already against this as I felt it was just political ass kissing, but after the utterly shameful treatment of president Zelinsky today I am absolutely disgusted, and the UK should not allow this disgusting man into our country.
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

A happy Christmas to the amazing crew at @senetmagazine.bsky.social your work is unique, entertaining, educational and just so very beautiful.

Looking forward to 2025!
MERRY CHRISTMAS SENET-HEADS! Have a fantastic time, both at the gaming table and away from it.

And please remember: a board game is for life, not just for Christmas.

Dear Starbucks. No, an Americano is NOT the same as a filter coffee. If I wanted a watered down espresso I'd ask for that wouldn't I?
And if you can charge me the same price as a filter for "the same thing" why is an Americano more expensive? 🥴

Took a trip out to Stone today for their inaugural Vegan market. A fabulous collection of stalls with unique pastries, cashew based cheese, pies and a whole load of awesome food stalls selling amazing tasty treats. The No Frickin Chick*n was amazing and we have plantuguese for tea tonight 😋🥰

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.

See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

Last nine game I played this year. I've not made as much time as I could to play and for sure I miss it. Boardgames are such a huge mental health reset for me. These analogue programs scratch all the right itches.
