  • @Rasta I was able to quickly find these square pieces from further down the trail.

  • About 10 years ago my friend Matthew ran the Halifax Casual Gaming Federation at Robert Street Social Centre, and we played board games together with a bunch of rad folks. He put together a zine with writeups for all the games we played in 2012 and I contributed one for Carcassonne, which is still my favourite board game. Due to showing up so often, I ended up winning the federation championship.
