In a week where we learned avocados were domesticated by humans over 7500 years ago, where the world’s largest underground thermal lake was discovered in Albania, where tunnels that were known only from sketches made by DaVinci were found, hidden under a castle in Milan, where a new part of the human immune system was discovered, and where archaeologists in Denmark have uncovered a circular series of postholes that date back over 4000 year and is suspected to have been used as a Stonehenge-like calendar, we’re still talking board games here at Meeple Mountain.
