In a week where the first American Pope was elected, where Microsoft founder Bill Gates intends to speed up his already substantial charitable giving, where an Irish football player (soccer) throws a ball more than 123 to set a world record, where a flock of mystery sheep were found wandering near a Texas school, where authorities are on the search for an ocelot in a Jamaican suburb, where reptile wranglers removed a record 98 iguana eggs from a single Florida yard, and where a Kentucky woman’s son accidentally placed an order for more than 70,000 lollipops, we’re still talking about board games here at Meeple Mountain.
