| In a week when scientists identified a new 190-million-year-old ichthyosaur fossil with a snout so sharp it’s been nicknamed the "Sword Dragon," when 60,000-year-old engraved ostrich eggshells showed ancient humans were practicing complex geometry long before we thought, when DNA analysis proved a rare breed of goat has survived in Ireland, unchanged, for over 3,000 years, when Thai police dressed up as traditional lion dancers to blend in at a temple fair to capture a serial burglar watching the festival, and when a couple who had joked they’d found a masterpiece in their attic discovered they actually did own an original Rembrandt, we're still talking games here on Meeple Mountain. |

We publish new articles, reviews, and lists almost a dozen times a week. Here's some of the things we've been talking about in the past week. |
