"You cannot attack the baby. On the other hand, you may assassinate or kidnap the baby."
Yea, this rule just went into my game.

Instead of using AI to make bad art, why don't we use AI to make board game opponents?
Instead of a solo option, companies could create AI opponents that will play the game (as written) against you?
I don't know how you'd implement this for a physical product. App?

My one board game Christmas present. Wolfgang Kramer's homage to Sid Sackson's 'Acquire.' Originally published in 1994 and one of the nearly-impossible-to-find grails for years. This is the new version by Funko.

The last time I went to the E.R. I was admitted to the hospital with a Hemoglobin count of 4.5 (which is bad, I'm told). After a week I was told I was "stable" and sent home.
Long story short, I have an ulcer in my upper dipsy-doodle* and I'm having a procedure to fix it next month.
*really!

So this morning woke up with a case of "TARPOO." This after several weeks of "FINEPOO."
Called my GI nurse and left a message telling her I'd put her in my will if I got a callback by Valentine's Day.
She called. I just had labs done. Tomorrow I'll find out if it's another trip to the E.R. Fun.

My Twitter (X) account was pretty much about board games and design and general 50-something snarkiness and "Hey, why can't I say that offensive thing anymore it used to be okay!"
Nope. Looks like this account is going to be about doctors and pills and E.R. visits and hospital admittances (?) Yuk

Watch in chronological order: "Wow, that was interesting."
Watch in any other order: "Wow, that sucked."
Hey, they're right!

I never want to see another doctor as long as I live!
Okay, let me rephrase that...

Anybody here work in a doctor's office? I'm just curious if one of the first things you learn is:
"If a patient leaves as message asking you to call them back, never do it."
Thanks.

My current gastronomical woes have persuaded me that 'Healthy Poo' should be a Crayola color. Not only is it delightful and fun to say, it's educational and could save lives.
