Greetings

In a week where a Norfolk, England zoo taught a 16 year old giraffe with nasal congestion how to use an inhaler, where a Florida mother won a Mortal Kombat video game tournament while holding her 5 day old daughter, and where a brown bear named 32 Chunk claimed the Far Bear Week championship in Alaska's Katmai National Park, we're still talking games here on Meeple Mountain.

Enter to Win!
