Greetings

In a week where we learned those spices of the season, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves have powerful antioxidant properties, where we learned the ReefGen Grasshopper underwater robot is helping to plant and restore seagrass all over the world, where Britain's ‘most festive pub’, The Queen Victoria Inn in Somerset, England, created a 26-foot snowman made from 2,500 empty wine bottles, we're still talking board games here on Meeple Mountain.

We hope you have a great Boxing Day, Chag Hanukkah Sameach, a Heri za Kwanzaa!
