#Splendor is a *fantastic* game.
Thanks for sharing. The paper makes for great reading. I also enjoy this graphic, I wonder if we are doing 🎸EXTREME CITIZEN SCIENCE 🎸 ?
Take care of yourselves today... and every day this week.

Senator Jeff Merley announced legislation that would create a pollinator-friendly plant labelling program. I strongly support this legislation and I ask you to do the same. At a time when insect populations are dropping 1-2% per year, we have to change the way our practices of interacting with nature, specifically, the over-use of pesticide..."
