I love this game! It's less strategic than the other two, but it's really really fun, regardless of whether you win or lose.

I received it just this week and I couldn't wait to play it. It's heavy, but a must-have for any developer. I think I got the hang of it, and I can't wait to try it again.

I had three #boardgame sessions this week.
1. Galactic Cruise
boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39...
It was my 2nd time playing. I decided to play a heavy Agenda hand (bonus cards). I had the max nearly the whole game and I won by a mile. I'm curious whether I was a lucky or if it's a winning strategy

A boardgame session, a half-marathon, coding, blogging, and a donation to Come Back Alive (https://savelife.in.ua/e.
Not bad for the last day of the year. I'll do my best for the next year to be as fruitful.
I wish you all a good New Year's Eve, and please pray for Ukraine 🙏 🇺🇦

I'm a long-time user of @wikipedia.org, and especially Wiktionary for language learning.
I support it especially at the time it comes under attack from fascists and nazis with too much money on their hands.

Public speaking is always nice. Speaking at @gotocon.com even better, but speaking at #GOTOcph is top! I even got my own branded tee-shirt ☺️
Thanks to the team and thanks to everyone who attended my talk 🙏
Now time for some tourism around Copenhagen and Malmö

I congratulate all Ukrainians with the day of the independence of Ukraine. Ukrainians are still fighting for it, 24 years after.
