Greetings

In a week where a fake dentist in the Czech Republic gave root canals after reading online instructions, where crickets were released in protest to disrupt a Mecklenburg county commission meeting in North Carolina, where a herd of escaped water buffalo wander through a town in British Columbia, where a man flew for free over 100 times by posing as a flight attendant, and where the world's largest game of red light, green light was played in California, we're still talking games here on Meeple Mountain.
