In a week where seven new members of the frog genus Boophias have been named after captains from the Star Trek franchise, where SpaceX landed a first stage rocket booster back on its launching pad for reuse, where Japanese scientists have reported on the fascinating memory, ability to learn, and problem-solving skills, of fungi, and Ohio State researchers have discovered that CBD oil can be used to kill mosquitos, we’re still talking about board games here at Meeple Mountain.
