In a week where scientists have extracted a two-mile long core of ice from Antarctica’s—ice that likely formed two million years ago, where as a cold wave moved into Florida, officials issued a warning for residents to watch out for cold-stunned, falling iguanas, where Lake Superior State University released its annual list of words that have overstayed their welcome including cringe, game changer, sorry not sorry, and IYKYK (IYKYK), where a team of scientists have discovered a new species of giant isopod near Vietnam and have named it Bathynomus vaderi, in honor of Darth Vader, and where Israel and Hamas have agreed to a temporary ceasefire deal that releases some hostages, we’re still talking board games here on Meeple Mountain.
