Board game nights are gyms for mental health and social fitness. Schedule them like that quad-destroying gym class you have because you know it's healthy for you.

You gotta pick Kelly this time. He's the only one who looks like he's got enough fight to bring to this whole thing we're in now.

In this article about Update 47, it talks about Survey Map changes. Does that mean if I accumulate a stack Blacksmith survey map for 1 zone, I can go to the site, and each node will roll multiple times to use up the entire stack with 1 visit?

Example of a different visual style card game I worked on.

Something lovely to start the week! 🐙🏺❤️

I revisited Heraklion Archaeological Museum a few days ago to see these fabulous clay pots with octopus decoration. Made by artisans from Bronze Age Crete about 3,500 years ago!
