Greetings

In a week where a spider monkey was captured in an office break room in Mexico, where a beekeeper in Cervera, Spain released a swarm of bees on police during a traffic stop, where 15 sets of twins are graduating from one New York high school, where a Rhode Island animal rescue group is seeking a new home for a parrot with an "R rated" vocabulary, and where an 80-year-old drove a Mercedes sedan down Rome’s famed Spanish Steps and got stuck, we're still talking games here on Meeple Mountain.
