  1. Nicely done, Dan.

  2. Well played. Reminds me of Bob Newhart’s humorous “Stop It” skit.

  3. What if I can afford it, but my partner disapproves and I’m not playing any games at the moment because I have no time and I’m exhausted, but I hope to play more once the children are in school and hopefully with them but actually it’s more expansions for an already expensive game?

  4. hallelujah. Also: the beard looks great!
