Greetings



In a week where scientists have extracted a two-mile long core of ice from Antarctica’s—ice that likely formed two million years ago, where as a cold wave moved into Florida, officials issued a warning for residents to watch out for cold-stunned, falling iguanas, where Lake Superior State University released its annual list of words that have overstayed their welcome including cringe, game changer, sorry not sorry, and IYKYK (IYKYK), where a team of scientists have discovered a new species of giant isopod near Vietnam and have named it Bathynomus vaderi, in honor of Darth Vader, and where Israel and Hamas have agreed to a temporary ceasefire deal that releases some hostages, we're still talking board games here on Meeple Mountain.

This Week's Puzzle

This week's puzzle is a mashup of six different board game names, where one name segues into. For instance, Wingspan and Pandemic would be written here as WINGSPANDEMIC. I've given you enough letters to lead you through the correct game names. Please send your guesses to [email protected]. We'll name all the people behind the correct guesses next week.  (p.s. All six games have been reviewed by Meeple Mountain.)
