Greetings

In a week when a Parisian gentleman won Picasso's 1941 painting, Head of a Woman, in a 100-euro charity raffle, when programmable DNA robots were successfully used to deliver medicine directly to virus cells, when we learned the nectar hummingbirds and bees consume is occasionally fermented, and when two Michigan parks continued their annual helicopter marshmallow drops (say it with me now, "As god is my witness, I thought marshmallows could fly") we're still talking games here at Meeple Mountain.
