    I don’t know, i don’t play them, she’s really into it though and goes to board game clubs… I can ask her


    She said La Granja or Anacrony…

    I’ve played Settlers of Catan and Dominion, that’s about as deep as I got. So e of these games are crazy with 100s of pieces and complex rules…

    He never said he loved the Dems' base voters. So... you misunderstood him.

    Spot rates falling mean shipments are plummeting. This could lead to unemployed truckers, dock workers, warehouse workers, and retail workers, but they voted for this so lets see what happens I guess.

    I really Trust Donald Trump on the economy. He was great on The Apprentice.

    Also, sometimes you just have to pull the band-aid off.

    Let's just see what happens.

    Wingspan is beautiful in game play and aesthetic!

    Some of my favs include, Ra, Power Grid, Agricola, and Tichu (not really a board game, but best trick taking card game ever).

    Informative take.

    Smoot Hawley tariffs were enacted to protect the agricultural industry from manufacturing and the industrial revolution, and now Trump’s tariffs are to protect manufacturing in a largely service based economy.

    Those who don’t learn from the past..

    ‘What do you want?’: Veteran diplomat says Trump administration 'could not explain what they wanted' to Japan during trade talks

    In a stinging critique of Trump's reciprocal tariffs, former US Assistant Secretary of Defense and veteran diplomat Chas Freeman has revealed just how disorganised Washington appeared during high-stakes negotiations—especially with key allies like Japan.

    According to Freeman, the Japanese delegation visiting Washington during the Trump administration was met with bewildering ambiguity. Speaking about the meeting, Freeman, during an interview on the YouTube channel, recounted: “Their experience apparently was they went to talk to the American leadership on this matter, and the American leadership said 'what are you offering?' And the Japanese said 'well, what is it that you want?' And the Americans could not explain what they wanted."
