My 4yo remarked today that "lots of mice" would still fit into the metro seat, which made me think that "Mice Metro" could be a cool theme for a children's game, so I asked
to design it. It's just amazing how detailed the description and image of the board were! 🤓

We paid tribute to #KlausTeuber yesterday by playing a game of base #Catan. I don't know when I last did this IRL, but the design is still brilliant after all these years. I know I'll sound old, but they really don't make games like these anymore... 👴 Klaus Teuber will be sorely missed! 😢
