This week’s games played in my new Narrative-Driven Analog Games course: For the Queen, Rory’s Story Cubes, Nanofictionary.

Of possible interest - she makes an appearance in the board game ‘Operation Barclay’ about the 1943 intelligence operation in the Mediterranean.

Taking a prototype on the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreememt (which ‘made’ the modern Middle East) for a spin in San Diego. How it started, and how it ended up.
