If that sounds like your thing, the Kickstarter ends on Thursday so make sure you check it out before then! You can back it and received a copy of the game for under 20 USD.
And if you're not sure, then there's a demo available on Steam.

I got an email notification from our local health department that we have a confirmed case of measles one county over from us. I'm incredibly relieved that my kids have all been able to be vaccinated, but worried for those who haven't.

Not only was this absolutely fascinating, but Dr. Podany's enthusiasm is contagious. If I wasn't already obsessed with Mesopotamia, then I would be after that interview!

AND thanks to Eli Tadmor for pointing out on Facebook that the scribe at the back is likely writing on a wax writing board, not a clay tablet - I always forget those existed!
