Right?! Although like you said... The show coming to a head when it's right vs. scheduling/funding etc. is best. Seriously wonder how they're going to wrap this up (and what they'll leave unresolved!)

Yikes, I still need to watch Season 3!

It's a heart-wrencher, and definitely one of the most unique games I've played.

Fetch Quest Journeys @fetchquestjourneys.com · 2d

Can't wait to play those eventually!!

Have you played South of Midnight? I think you'd love it, especially for the musical aspect!

The Royal Game of Ur is the world’s oldest playable boardgame!

Played by Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia about 4,500 years ago!

It is a two-player race game, the rules of which have been deciphered from a cuneiform tablet.

British Museum photo showing a two-player board game with gaming counters known as the Royal Game of Ur. Dated c. 2,500 BC.

The game board is composed of a hollow box made of wood adorned with shell plaques. There is a drawer at one end for storing game pieces and dice. The top of the board is covered with twenty square-shaped off-white shell plaques, each bordered with dark-blue lapis lazuli. The shell squares are intricately decorated with blue inlaid patterns including dots inside circles and eye-shapes. Five squares are inlaid with flower-shaped rosettes with red limestone and blue lapis lazuli petals.

The game board is roughly rectangular in shape. Viewed from above in the photo, on the left side of the board is a block of 12 squares made up of 4 across by 3 down. On the right side of the board is a block of 6 squares made up of 2 across by 3 down. The two blocks are joined by two squares extending between the second square down on the end row of the left block and the second square down on the first row of the second block.

Dimensions H: 2.40 cm, L: 30.10 cm, W: 11 cm, (W 5.70 cm at narrowest part)

Beneath the board are 14 disc-shaped gaming counters. On the left are 7 white pieces, inlaid with 5 spots of blue lapis lazuli. On the right are 7 black pieces inlaid with five white spots.

Between the game pieces are three tetrahedron-shaped dice. L to R: Dark blue, brown, cream.

Why is Labour cutting vaccines? Why aren’t you protecting clinically vulnerable people as a basic. France is protecting its whole population with vaccines. Lives will be lost! Please show compassion. @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social

🚨 MILLIONS at higher risk will lose NHS Covid vaccines this autumn.

Lives will be at risk. The NHS will face more pressure. Covid is as serious as 'flu and also requires updated seasonal vaccines.

We can stop this!

COVID has and always will be a class war - who can afford to isolate when necessary, who can access medical care, who can pay for a vaccine... In a "developed" country in 2025.
I am relieved to hear France is handling vaccines responsibility.

Fetch Quest Journeys @fetchquestjourneys.com · 27d

100% with you. It is not only my personal experience with long COVID which enrages me regarding this - it is the sheer sense of injustice, the knowledge that so many in the same or worse predicament who have already suffered are expected to remain at risk. What kind of society justifies this?

And yet... Many long COVID sufferers aren't eligible for a vaccine in the UK 🤷🏻‍♀️
