There's a world outside your window and it's a world of dread and fear. Joe and Craig delve into the archives of the Central Office of Information to unearth forgotten 20th Century media. Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you. thetrainrush.com/2024/12/22/…

Feeling too nauseous to participate, so I just have to watch @Joecomotive play well at Chicago and Northwestern... which is making me feel nauseous. What a horror-show.

Great work @TUIUK . Stuck in Brussels airport at midnight due to terrible routing decisions, after experiencing a one week all inc. holiday 50% disrupted by gastroenteritis for our entire party. This is the face of your real package holiday experiences.

This endorsement of @TrickTalkers is sooooo long overdue! You know how much we like to offer unreserved hype for everything we interact with in the board game space. Conssuuuuuuuume!

It's not often I get to fix The Good Doctor @ReinerKnizia 's games. This mathematical flaw (if we count engineering as maths) didn't take much to address.
