I just had a huge win against two “sergeants” who were too busy bickering with each other to notice I was racking up countries under their noses. I’m still a cook, tho. I like some of the alternative boards. Those are where I’ve been getting my bigger wins. If you want to play me on one of the other boards, the game numbers are 1802500 1809231 1810472 1812467 1812474 1812480 1813353 Or just use the Game Finder and type in ‘anyrose’ at user name ---

hmmmph - I’m a cadet again :rolleyes: I can’t resist that stoopit “doodle earth” board - it looks so simple, but it’s deceptively evil. and 😕 I received this as a positive feedback: > [@](#): > > I think a good scene in a movie would be where one scientist tells another scientist, “You know what will save the world? You’re holding it in your hand.” And the other scientist looks, and in his hand are peanuts. Then when he looks up, the first scientist is being taken away to the insane asylum. what in Og’s name does that have to do with the game that was played? :dubious: ---
