A beautiful stack of boxes you have there Willem!

The postwoman brought a stack to my house this morning but most was for my wife. There were two envelopes for me from France. The first contained more emergency banknotes issued by the Carcassonne Chamber of Commerce. I’ve already explained this history of these so I won’t go into it again.

The other envelope contained a 1.5 euro coin from 1997, from before euro currency became standardized. Both sides are so beautifully designed that I must share both with you.

The five-cent coin was hiding in my mailbox. Here it is with its siblings.

Love the sight of all those coins @Scott ! Looks like you're getting an amazing cross-over collection!

I was woken up this morning by the postman, having a little parcel for me:

I found the Italian version of the Discovery spin off, and whilst i was at it, of course couldn't resist ordering an Italian Carc20

To my surprise, the Discovery is also still sealed! I was not expecting that, but it's a welcome surprise!

It took 6 weeks, but Zamek Sokół finally came. Also received the very cute snow globe (thanks for the tip, Scott!). I'm glad the snow globe was packaged better than the 10th anniversary edition, as it arrived in 3 pieces (top completely off, back piece hanging on by one corner). I heard that in general the 10th anniversary box wasn't very sturdy to begin with, but I'd hoped to get one in better shape than this. At least all the pieces are there and it wasn't that expensive...

See 10th Anniversary Box meets The Repair Shop ... although mine wasn't quite as badly separated

Thanks for the repair tips; it definitely needs some help. I'll see if I can find that glue and give it a try.

While searching the Forum for "hexagon" (for obvious reasons), I discovered Land vs. Sea. My copy arrived late yesterday:

The game is amazingly well made. The double-sided tiles are very thick and were pre-punched with nice clean edges. Beautiful and clear instruction booklet. I love the minimalism: just the tiles, a few optional wooden tokens, and the box holding the scoreboard.

I will post another thread with details on the tile distribution (among the 14 possible edge combinations), but for now I'll just note that there is a single tile that has both LLLLLL (volcano) and SSSSSS (vortex), but there is no tile with LSLSLS!?

Super excited to play, particularly the asymmetric 3-player option. And of course I already have a few variants in mind...
